Ninety-nine days until the all-important midterm elections, Republican lawmakers and outside groups are beginning to distance themselves from President Trump — in ways both small and big. The latest to break away: the Koch Brothers.
“Top leaders of the conservative Koch political network, frustrated with the direction of the Republican Party, are attempting to rebrand the organization by vowing to be less partisan and work with elected officials across the political spectrum to advance their policy priorities,”

Yep. In other news, water is wet and sun sets in west.
Neither party represents what used to be called "labor", and that is not just unions but all labor i.e. almost everyone working. Unions are only 7% of the workforce in the USA so this crosses all lines politically.
Think about that; no political representation for the largest voting block in the USA.
“Keep it up, boys, and someday you’ll so demoralize Republicans that they’ll sit home and you’ll get Ocasio-Cortes and her ilk in power to loot you.”
Yeah!
Because allowing ourselves to be limited to having to choose between two or more pathological liars, based generally on which has the more appealing smile or hairdo, had been working so well for our side.
We *need* the Koch bros and their ilk to keep spoon feeding us representatives that’ll tell us what we want to hear on the TV, then, behind closed doors, give all aid and support to the left to rape us bloody.
We need way more Deep State!
Part of the Chamber of Commerce, cheap, illegal labor lobby.
F off GOPe buttwipe.
Have they done anything to help President Trump?
Anybody know their names?
Yes...
I would completely disagree, I think the GOP kept the senate, reeelecting the anti-Trump RINOs because of Donald Trump, and many of these despicable anti-Trump RINO McConnell toadies will be reelected BECAUSE of Trump and the fact that he will probably be making more Supreme Court appointments. It is infuriating to me to have to vote for Dean Heller, that he was not successfully primary’d, and the only reason I am doing so is because of the Supreme Court. Maddening to know that Heller, if reelected, will think it because of his RINO-ism, when the actual reason will be because Republicans, Independents, and some Democrats like what Trump has accomplished and know the Democrat will be even more of an obstructionist.
“...rebrand the organization by vowing to be less partisan and work with elected officials across the political spectrum to advance their policy priorities.”
Translation: More of the same, uni-party B.S. and working to the same end for different reasons, i.e., more Democrat voters, more cheap labor.
Almost every vulnerable GOP seat was held, including some that were considered "lean Democrat" as late as mid-2016.
Ohio was a perfect case in point. Coming into the 2016 cycle, Sen. Rob Portman was targeted by the Democrats as a vulnerable Republican incumbent. Trump won Ohio by 10 points. Portman made a point of distancing himself from Trump, and he won by 21 POINTS.
It sounds outrageous, but when you go back to the founding of the United States you'll find that this is exactly how this country was designed to function. This idea of "labor" being represented in Congress is a creation of a post-Civil War world that had no basis in the founding ideals of the country.
If true, they do so at their own peril.
So they supported Jeb Bush, John Kasich...and anyone else who wants no borders, and amnesty
I agree, probably more FUD. Thanks Kid Shelleen.
For many “Republicans”, conservatives, etc., who have been thrown under the bus by the Republican (RINO) Party, this is the reason. The Koch Bros. and others ARE The Swamp. When America was given the opportunity to change the leftist political leanings of the Republican Party with Donald Trump, they took it. We have come too far, President Trump has shown us that there is the America we want and deserve. God Bless President Trump.
Koch does not sound like a conservative to me. He doesn’t even seem to like this country.
The Koch brothers are the RINO Republican version of George Soros. All they want is cheap labor and don’t give a damn about middle class Americans and our country.
The Kochs and the political whores they purchase (Paul Ryan, John McCain, the vile Bush family, etc, etc) don’t see Americans as the owners of a country and culture, they see us as a labor units, interchangeable with any other country’s labor units.
Accordingly, to them, borders, language, culture and patriotism are just anachronistic trade barriers. The sooner destroyed the better.
