The Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not use their $400 million political arsenal to try to block Republican front-runner Donald Trump's path to the presidential nomination, a spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday.
The decision by the billionaire industrialists is another setback to Republican establishment efforts to derail the New York real estate mogul's bid for the White House, and follows speculation the Kochs would soon launch a "Trump Intervention."
"We have no plans to get involved in the primary," said James Davis, spokesman for Freedom Partners, the Koch brothers' political umbrella group. He would not elaborate on what the brothers' strategy would be for the Nov. 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama.

I am sure they will support the Republican nominee in the general election.
One of the Koch superPacs is current running anti Trump ads as late as last night. I would call that involvement.
This is just a smokescreen to back us off of them.
Believe me spent millions. When the time comes they are going to do it when no one expects it.
Don’t let your guard down and pound them relentlessly about it.
Hoodwink.
Seems they are not as Stupid as Mittens

Wrong.
That’s baloney.
Advertising spots are purchased months ahead of time.
Everything is already in place.
You don’t get to be the Koch Brothers without knowing a bad investment when you see one. Plus, what kind of threat does Trump pose to them, other than difference on social issues, etc?
The Kochs are libertarian. They are not social conservatives. They are interested in accumulating and controlling lots of wealth, if that is the definition of an economic conservative.
But lots, if not most, liberals want to accumulate and control wealth.
They know it’s too late.
They also know that we’re on to the GOPe.
I'm going to bed, and expect the FReepathon to be over by the time I wake up. Next Thursday. ":^)
