I don't know why the Kochs continue to vacillate but failing to support Trump simply IS support for Hillary. One or the other is going to be elected in Nov. If Charles Koch is sincere in saying that he knows Hillary is unacceptable, then his only REASONABLE choice is to support Trump.

p.s. I predict that the "blood libel" reference is going to get a lot of people upset for using such a label to apply to someone supporting Hillary!

Well, maybe he is Jewish enough to be “allowed” to use that reference. But I am not certain. One thing is certain, Sarah Palin was not allowed to use that term.

Chuck envisions himself as a the second coming of Jesus Christ and his mission is to create Utopia for the little people.

Sorry, checked his family connections, Dutch but not Jewish, so then he is certainly not allowed to use “blood libel” according to the PC liberal media establishment.

I’m sure risk mitigation is a big part of their success. Trump is a risk in many ways. He could self destruct before the election. We don’t know what direction he’ll go on many issues after the election. I think the risk is worth it. But they don’t.

Whether Trump wins or loses, and is a great or lousy conservative president there will be bad blood between lots of one-time-allies. There may be some shuffling of “leadership”. The Kochs want to stay outside of all of that and be friends of DC leadership no matter how things come out. They also don’t want to piss off Trump-haters (R, D, and voters) and get more bad publicity from the media which will certainly come with support for Trump and cost them $$$.

They also could be negotiating with Trump and and waiting for cheap labor compromise.

This isnt such a bad thing. Trump has run as an outsider. One of his strategies is to call out Hillary for taking money from donors who control her.

If he takes Koch money, he will be labeled a hypocrite. Let Koch fund the down ticket races and Trump can fund his run.

We need to say “pro Clinton” not “anti Trump.”

Everytime I see an article about the Koch brothers I think of that political show Alpha House on Amazon. The brothers on that show must be mocking the Koch Brothers.

The smarmy guy played by Kelly Rippa’s husband is probably Rubio

If you claim to be pro-america, then you need to stop bashing the pro-america candidate.

Hey Koch. You can’t vote for ‘none of the above’ in this election, and ‘voting your conscience’ is a vote for Clinton.

You’ve got only two realistic choices. Pick one.

I think the Koch brothers are like a lot of other people who have heard Trump say that he wants to be free of the taint of financial contributors. The Koch brothers have decided to invest their funds in Senate races and will be donating much more than I will be donating. But, I understand their point - since Trump doesn’t need/want the money, it’s best to just donate to others who really need the money to be successful.

It’s easier to buy-off the Senate.
