"In a revealing interview with ABC News, Koch said it was 'possible' that
Clinton would be better alternative than anything the Republicans offer."
Republican donor Charles Koch said he could not back Trump or Cruz
He called them 'terrible role models' and said he was sick of their bickering
Koch added that he was against Cruz's ISIS policy and Trump's Muslim ban
Said Trump's vow to register Muslims was 'reminiscent of Nazi Germany'
Multi-billionaire said it's 'possible' that Clinton could be a better president

I have now lost EVERY last shred of respect I ever had for the Koch brothers!
To EVER think that HilLIARy could EVER be considered in ANY way acceptable
under ANY circumstances is astronomically insane!
The Kochs' ignorance of Islam is staggering!
They think Trump's proposal to register Muslims is "monstrous?"
What's REALLY monstrous is ISLAM!
A religion that actually makes murder and pillage a sacrament!
And to not see the difference between Trump's boorishness
and Cruz's deft and witty responses
is just dullness and ignorance by the Kochs.
Anyone who owns $40 billion worth of companies
needs to be better informed than these guys!
I used to think that the Kochs were a conservative counterbalance to
the fat cat RINOs on Wall Street
who bribe and corrupt and practically own BOTH parties!
Now it looks more like the Kochs are just another toady of the ruling clique!

I had heard rumors Koch and a few other so called right wingers were the ones that said they'd support Hillary if an Establishment pick didn't make the cut.
Guess they were true.
One thing this race exposed, that no matter the amount of money wasted, the base had made up it's mind, no more libs on a GOP ticket, including Trump.

A Dem you know is better then a RINO (Dem) you don't know.
Koch explains his comments.
One thing Koch is pointing out is how much angst people on the GOP side have in the current primary. The only candidate who appeared to be more in favor of reducing government spending than not was Rand Paul, and he's already out of the race. Yes, Ted Cruz has talked about putting in a flat tax (a fantastic idea) and eliminating five government agencies but he's also done the Romney plan of a major increase in government spending for the military. Donald Trump has a decent tax plan, but he doesn't want to fix Social Security, Medicare, and the VA (fire the administrators!) and has made very unconservative policy suggestions, like getting involved in tariff wars. Trump and Cruz also differ with Koch over immigration, with the latter wanting to see immigration reform over the former who don't always appear willing to discuss it. Koch also told ABC News how he doesn't agree with Trump on his "solution" to Muslims or Cruz on ISIS.

I'm not willing to accept that with Hildabeast running. Sanders doesn't stand any real chance even if he does get the Donks' nomination --- and that is still possible if the FBI pays Shrill back over their files that she had in her private possession, and "found on a table" somewhere, just like State is now playing it over the Benghazi documents. Not one freaking thing changes with this criminal skank. Not ONE.
That said: she runs from prison, would the media actually tell the public? Would she ever see a cell before the election, and instead some bleeding-heart apparatchik judge will grant her an ankle-bracelet campaign. Oh joy, the interests of justice are SERVED!
2016. The year our system got its enema.

I will WRITE IN CRUZ if needed. I will not hold my nose and vote this time, for the lesser of two evils. "You can take that to the bank."

This sounds like Koch is trying to apply pressure to the process. Not sure he would actually go through with a lame threat like this.

Yeah, I can't see Koch following through, but I definitely know many Establishment backers that would.
Koch is more Libertarian, but I'm completely at a loss as to what he's up to here.

I am puzzled also. The Koch's are not dummies. They have to know going with anybody except any of three left will be a death knoll for the GOP in 2016.
All he has to do is back Trump if he wants Hillary....

I think he is telling the GOPer to shit or get off the pot.

...Leading to bargain-basement prices buying and grooming your own picks for the New-GOP EStablishment...yes?
