The political network funded in part by billionaire libertarian Charles Koch is going to try a new strategy against President Donald Trump’s trade war with China after conceding that its previous campaign hasn’t worked.
Koch network leaders said Thursday that their digital and TV ad blitz that emphasized how Americans could experience financial pain from the tariff fight wasn’t panning out the way they had hoped.
“The argument that, you know, the tariffs are adding a couple thousand dollars to the pickup truck that you’re buying is not persuasive,” a senior Koch official says.

“The argument that, you know, the tariffs are adding a couple thousand dollars to the pickup truck that you’re buying is not persuasive,” a senior Koch official, who declined to be named, said during a briefing in New York. “It doesn’t penetrate with the people that are willing to go along with the argument that you have to punish China.”

What I find interesting is that the new strategy, like the old strategy is focused on preaching to the choir. There are milliions of alleged independents not in the choir. Nobody, not AFP, not Heritage or CATO, not TeaParty or RNC is trying to reach out beyond the choir.
Haha, I’m picking up a new p/u on Tuesday to do some medium “Half-ton” hauling over the next 18 months.
Trump’s goose was cooked. But the deplorables didn’t listen to us. So we are changing our message. Trump’s goose is cooked.
The Koch’s are pro illegal and for any democrat or republican, they can buy and control.

Hauling to where and and then to back?
Do tell, do tell, O Kerouac!
You can’t fix Stupid.
At this point I refuse to refer to Charles Koch as a libertarian.
The fact that you want China to succeed, at America's expense,.......for your OWN financial gain......isn't that hard for us little people to understand.
Was talking today with a guy who works in an industry that experienced massive outsourcing over the last couple decades (plastic injection molding). He said the Trump tariffs and especially the threat that they’ll be increased is helping bring business back onshore. He said his business is booming and attributed a big piece of it to the tariffs.
People with money know best, so, they must be believed, even when wrong.
However, in the real world, rich and super-rich folks are not smarter than the regular folks.
Who writes and doesn’t edit this crap?
Makes ones eyes hurt reading the same lines..
This twit/tweet or whatever the same...the same line gets repeated 2 or 3 times when put to ‘print’.
I notice Rush the other day (in between plugs for Apple) would have a remark played, then he repeated, almost word for word, what was just said.
In his ‘defense’ he did say there was something wrong with the audio or at least his portion of it.
Furthur!
Bastards are pro Chicom too.
The Koch’s are NOT Libertarian or Republican. They are all about Cheap Labor and Cheap Communist Chinese made goods and to hell with America and Americans. All of this is self evident to anyone with eyes to see.
Yeah, the key is that they only think their method was wrong, not theitr intent.
Cheap labor hurts labor, and labor resents that.
Ewwww scary. Commercials on how it “could impact us” to have China play by the rules, but nothing about any of the democraps $30 trillion global warming spending, $3 Trillion free collage, or $75 trillion Medicare for everyone and open borders and Amnesty for every asshole entering the country!. Phuck the Kochs!
Ha ha!!...that is the very name I was thinking of pasteing to the front end of the Puma I mentioned.
That or Nevermore!
Hopefully the surviving brother doesn’t survive for much longer.
KochSuckers bump for later....
