The conservative Koch network spent its annual donor conference celebrating policy victories under President Donald Trump such as the tax overhaul, but the elation was tinged with anxiety over November’s congressional elections that could pose a risk to its agenda.

More entertaining if the Koch Brothers build a mountain of cash and light it on fire, a la, "Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight". They should spend the money buying struggling private colleges and building more Hillsdale Universities.

Public school indoctrination is ongoing and has doubled down against the Trump administration.

Kids, especially in California, absolutely despise Trump.

Dems have been so fixated on Trump, I almost forgot about the other boogy man

[Cowboy Bob]

I thought the Koch Brothers were anti-Trump?

[Berosus]

I thought the Koch brothers did not support Trump in the last election. When did they come around?

"Facing Democratic wave"

LOL. As if it's fact. Where did their author get their crystal ball?

More far-reaching is the fact that the NEA, to which teachers cling to, despises Trump. It’s not a local thing.

If the BS blue wave narrative gets the Kochs to spend more of their cash its OK by me. Unfortunately they do like their RINO’s.

The tax cuts probably. Tax Bonus Shaming of companies like Amazon,Google,Facebook,and the rest of Silicon Valley would help the employees and get votes with other people’s money. Has your company given you a Tax Bonus yet? Hey Warren Bigmouth Buffet pony up.

The Democrat campaign ads should be fun.

As Americans flush with newfound cash from reduced taxes, pay raises and bonuses go on spending sprees for pleasure trips, eating put, BBQ’ing inch thick steaks, new furniture, bigger houses....the Democrats will be whining about the “crumbs” Trump gave them.

They didn’t support Trump, but they were anti Hillary.

The Koch’s are straight up libertarian. So why they dislike Trump, the Dems are much worse

[Buckeye McFrog]

Koch Brothers facing a stark choice.

Get on the Trump Train, OR
be overrun by Socialists.

To win the election, conservatives need to set up and advertise video cams on the border, showing the continual stream of illegals. Then add the words, “Democrats support this.”
