Isn't it more likely that he's just being consistent with his prior principles, and bytedance donated to him knowing that he'd be a reliable ally and thus wanting him to remain in Congress?
- ryan_lane 4y agoAlmost certainly not. It's not very likely for him to be voted out, and companies don't "hope" their dollars go toward what they want.
- revelio 4y agoOf course they do. All political donations involve "hope" because you can't directly control what a politician says or does with money. You can only fund allies and then hope or assume they remain allies. In the case of Rand Paul it's a pretty good bet he won't suddenly turn on them, because his principles are consistent with what they want, so it makes sense to make big donations.
