Billionaire businessman Charles Koch said in an interview airing Sunday that “it’s possible” another Clinton in the White House could be better than having a Republican president.

Koch, the CEO of Koch industries, made the comment to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl for an interview airing on ABC’s This Week.

Thanks for the link.

I think we need something more than politics as we know it like Farage’s UKIP as an example but that won’t be clear until the dust settles from the current election season and we find out what the politicians are going to do to us in 2017.

And I mean ‘do to us’ in no uncertain terms.

Hillary and a Paul Ryan-Mitch McConnell Congress would work together against us.

I won’t speak to a Republican presidency yet, but the Congress will still be Corporatist regardless.

I haven’t seen many if any outsider candidates winning the Congressional primaries so far. Unless that happens, nothing is really changing in Washington.

Trump’s magic power is apparently the ability to cause all the people who were causing the problems in the first place to expose themselves for what they truly are.

Trump smokes out fake conservatives almost daily. How easily we have been fooled by so many who only serve their own interests. Koch, Mercer, etc. do whatever is best for them and to heck with America. Seems a value held by Cruz as well.

This is why I believe primarying key players is the best investment of resources. When we took Cantor down they were in disarray for months. Imagine if we could take down two or more of the key scoundrels in the same cycle. Bet a whole lot of them would find religion in a heartbeat.

and yet...

Trump’s positions, as displayed on his website, are VERY conservative.

Lyin’ Ted is and has always been a Bushie Establishmentarian.

Lyin’ Ted, even with his cheatin’ that began in Iowa/Carson, has lost.

Lyin’ Ted will never be nominee on 2nd, 3rd, 4th....ballot.

Lyin’ Ted = Lyin’ Ryan = Lyin’ Hellry

Supporting Lyin’ Ted is a vote for Hellry...and it’s not rocket science to grasp that reality

Kochs are part of the cheap labor express. Kochs are worried about the Kochs - nothing more, nothing less!

The GOPe will be voting for Hillary in November. You can take that to Goldman Sachs.

Farage is one of my heroes, I love watching him rip the euros a new one on youtube.

[[The Libertine mind is an amazing thing...]]

Libertarians who disdain social conservatives have no deep roots, no moorings.

Libertarians care nothing about God. They care most about sex and drugs. Without God, they are open to anything and everything. Even open to pro-abort Clinton as president.

How will Harry Reid spin his pathological hatred of the Koch brothers if they support Hillary?

A Trump victory negatively impacts their hegemony, apparently.

The Kochs may or may not be conservative. That is almost irrelevant. They are businessmen. They will support whatever politician they can exert the most control over. That’s the way it has always been, and that is the way it is now. They know Trump has this almost locked up and aren’t going to bother wasting their money on someone who doesn’t want/need their money.

It’s really simple.

Charles Koch and his brother can vote for Hillary - they have one more vote between them than me and my dog.

It’s pretty clear now that Trump is going to be the nominee. So long as he continues to fund his own campaign, he won’t need people like the Koch brothers. The whole point of Trump’s campaign is that he will be beholden to no one.
