It's a nightmare scenario for Republicans, but conservative billionaire Charles Koch says "it's possible" Hillary Clinton could make a better president than the remaining candidates in the GOP primary.

Koch, one of the most influential and controversial forces in Republican politics, said in an exclusive interview with ABC News to air Sunday on "This Week" that he believed Bill Clinton was a better president "in some ways" than George W. Bush.

"In other ways, I mean [Clinton] wasn't an exemplar. But as far as the growth of government, the increase in spending," Koch said. "It was 2.5 times [more] under Bush than it was under Clinton."

"Charlie needs to tell that to the families of the four Americans Clinton left to die in Benghazi --- "

Well sadly, there is a chance America's uniparty leadership may have to apologize to the families of soldiers killed and maimed in Iraq. Then again those 28 pages may never see the light of day.

He has tried to get Trump out and now that he’s failed he plays his game. They put a lot of money into Cruz.

Revelation: "I"

Both party’s allegiances were always to whoever offers them the most money and power, this year we are just seeing it finally out in the open.

Trump has pulled back the curtain and exposer the den of vipers that occupies our parties leadership.

"Au contrare! Charlie is very smart. He’s simply looking out for his personal interests, which in no way have anything to do with the people of this country. He’s simply one of “members” of the Board of Directors of America, Inc. To him, America isn’t a country, it’s a corporation."

Yes he is, trying to fend off IRS-SEC-you name it investigations since he hasn't "paid-da-vig" to her to use parlance from the Soprano's...

"Bill Clinton was a FUNCTIONAL Republican. Worked with the congress(had to) and compared to 43? Don’t be afraid of the truth."

Or did that Congress work us. I was such a big fan of Newt and the boys and look how they turned out, Army, Bonoir, Livingston, Hastert. Yet I hear Clinton's Welfare reform has been pretty much undone and had some big loopholes in it to begin with. And their is J.C.Watts, you could see it in his body language before he left. He'd be walking with his head down disinterested would be kind to describe it. My guess is he knew the supposed balanced budget was a bit of house of cards as it later became known.

Because we are disintegrated. We are no longer a PEOPLE-(defined as a demographic that considers itself a unit.)

Koch’s definition of “Better President”: the one easiest to bribe. Hillary is it.

“The elites are perfectly fine with Hillary.”

Of course they are. The monied elites will never be impacted by who is in the White House, regardless of political party.

Koch like the rest of the uniparty is a globalist.

Which is why our “owners” are importing millions of third world peasants.
