NEW YORK, March 2 (Reuters) - The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not deploy their $400 million political arsenal to attack Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential primary election, according to an official from the brother's political umbrella group.

"We have no plans to get involved in the primary," said James Davis, spokesman for Freedom Partners, the Koch brothers' political umbrella group.

Either the Elitist class has realized they went too far (and got a lot of pushback), or, they are going to do things much more quietly.

My vote is on the latter.


Exactamundo. Sun Tzu style. GOP will embrace Trump publicly while stabbing him in the back with neg ads. Then last few days before FL they will go back into hysteria mode to push the late deciders to Rubio, IMO.

Trump does not think abortion is good. I can’t believe anyone ultimately sees it as good. It has a stronghold in the USA and it needs to be taken down, step by step, later steps first!

I listened carefully to what Donald Trump actually said about Planned Parenthood.

He said he supported them for breast exams/mammograms, STD testing, and other women’s health care issues, such as cervical cancer screening, etc. But he would stop all funding for abortion.

I would be perfectly happy if they were shut down completely, but realize that there may be areas/town/cities where there may not be alternative clinics. So, can understand why he may not be for a blanket shut down.

See my post below yours, and think about places where there may not be alternative health care clinics.

I think Donald may have done his homework on this one.

Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms

Plus do all Women’s Health Centers kill babies ?

Perhaps we can praise the Women’s clinics that love babies ?

Why did Trump supported a Judge (sister) for the Supreme Court who fought for Partial Birth Abortions? Trump did that in 2015

Koch brothers would be wasting their money. Trump has many billionaire friends who would put up as much or more money than the Koch brothers to defend Trump.

The gop-e will instead spend it during the general election to try to elect hitlery. The gop-e is just one face appearing on the same uniparty coin.

Thousands of Americans lost their jobs to foreign outsourcing.

Cruz loves TPA and the free trade agreements that caused it.
