what does sheldon want? >> he wants a candidate that is going to win for a change.very upset with what happened with mitt romney. he supported newt gingrich mostly out of personal loyalty from a relationship that goes back 20 years. he wants a candidate that can win. he wants a candidate who is not going to concentrate on social issues. mentioned earlier he ises soly liberal. he is pro-choice. he wants the republican candidate to talk about immigration. he is worried about the republican candidate losing on that issue. he wants a winner this time. >> it's amazing on social issues and immigration if any candidate had those views, they would be laughed out right now in the primary prospect. does that make it harder for these guys to take his money? doesn't look it. >> i don't think anyone will turn down his money. as you talked about with the adelson primary, i've been to both in the last couple of years. it is a panderfest. sheldon adelson will wait for two or three debates, see which candidate looks better to him. i think he likes marco rubio and scott walker, but h
