Koch brothers network rules out anti-Clinton ads

COLORADO SPRINGS (CNN) —The powerful political network helmed by Charles and David Koch is ruling out running advertisements intended to hurt Hillary Clinton, another sign of their insistence on avoiding the presidential race.

The Koch network has previously said they will not back Republican candidate Donald Trump, but on Saturday officials told reporters that they would not run negative Clinton spots, a position taken by some Republican groups that are uneasy with the controversial GOP standard-bearer. The group is laser-focused on maintaining and expanding the Senate majority -- in the midst of a $42 million television advertising campaign focused on a half-dozen states -- and would only use Clinton to bash Senate Democratic hopefuls.

Network officials outlined their plans here as 400 of their donors prepared to hear from a roster of Republican leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan is among the politicians who scored invites to one of the nation's most sought-after political retreats at a lavish campus nestled in the Rocky Mountains.

“The Globalist are taking their ball and going home....”

Well, Trump did take over the field when he destroyed Koch’s lineup of Walker, Bush, Rubio, Kasich, and Jindal.

If they are indifferent to the prospect of Shrillary Clinton becoming president then they are just dogS### to me.

They are probably trying to get Harry Reid off their a$$.

Bet it doesn’t work.

Time to worry. No negatives, well have you tried using Yahoo, Google, Bing to locate something you know is positive, something you were able to easily find two weeks ago and now you cannot get through the negative, reverse of what you look for?

33 States use electronic voting. With the bias, see prior post summarized below, the Left Wing will hack and subvert the electoral system. As of now it is hard to believe that Yahoo, Bing and Google have not been hacked. They may be spammed ( I hope instead of an obvious bias - Facebook and other social media have also been caught red handed.) I cannot believe the bias and in effect illegal campaign contributions this represents is happening in America.

Here is my link to my complaint to Yahoo. The GOP best do something or they will never get a true American into office again. It will all be Leftist, 3rd world stuff as implemented by BHO. We are in deep stuff.https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/280805-us-search-mozilla

Trump tweeted today that he doesn’t want their money. It’s nice to have a candidate who doesn’t need contributions. Trump is able to pay for the whole thing himself and will be obliged to no one.

Looks like Trump will have to start a Peoples party. When Kochs or others say Trump is controversial that is saying all those millions who voted for him are controversial, and I don’t think I am in my views, its common sense. Screw Kochs and their minions. Republicans who don’t agree with Trump will never get my vote.

I got a Robo call from Trump a day or two ago asking for donations, guess he changed his mind today...

Allowing Hillary to expand the damage of the Obama years and complete a takeover of the courts. In essence wipe out any and all conservative progress the Kochs have invested in over decades. Too bad.

Trump tweeted earlier today:

"I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch. Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!"

Trump refused to meet with these guys. He doesn't want contributions that will only give people an excuse to say that he has been bought. He is in the fortunate position to be able to finance this campaign himself.

Koch brothers are RINO globalist of the first degree. One of them is all for queer “marriage”, abortion, etc. Can’t remember which one.
