If the campaign of Donald Trump thought its fight against the political establishment ended with Trump’s nomination at the RNC, a recent announcement likely brought everyone crashing back to reality.
Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch has declared that his expansive political network will not support Donald Trump — a major blow from the bigwig conservative and his powerful friends, who donate heavily to conservative politicians and thus carry huge influence in public policy.
During an exclusive gathering with some of the nation’s most powerful Republican donors Sunday, the 80-year-old conservative icon dismissed as “a blood libel” any suggestion he might support Democrat Hillary Clinton or Trump.
“At this point I can’t support either candidate,” Koch told hundreds of donors gathered for a weekend retreat in a luxury hotel at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
However, Koch did promise huge backing to other establishment Republicans on the rest of the election ticket — and that could pit a President Trump against an uncooperative Congress of disloyal establishment conservatives as well as party rival Democrats.
With Election Day just three months away, Koch and his chief lieutenants openly refused to support the Republican presidential nominee, focusing their tremendous resources instead on helping their chosen politicians in the GOP win competitive Senate contests in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Details on Koch’s decision emerged Sunday, the second day of a three-day gathering for donors who promise to give at least $100,000 each year to the various groups backed by the Koch brothers’ Freedom Partners — a network of education, policy and political entities that aims to promote a smaller, less intrusive government.
The ambitious Koch network has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to influence politics and public policy over the last decade. The network planned to invest heavily in the 2016 presidential contest, but sharply changed its course after Trump became the Republican standard-bearer.
The decision was welcomed by many of the 400 donors who attended the weekend retreat, even though “a reasonably significant” number of attendees wanted the Koch network to support Trump, said Chris Wright, a Colorado-based energy entrepreneur.
“We’re not going to give any money to support Donald Trump,” Wright explained.
Charles and David Koch have hosted such gatherings of donors and politicians for years, but usually in secret. As a condition of attending this gathering, reporters were not permitted to identify any donors without their permission.
Koch addressed the presidential contest in a general way on Sunday when reporters were present, but went further during a closed-door meeting later in the day.
With reporters on hand, Koch described his first priority as “to preserve the country’s financial future and to eliminate corporate welfare.”
“Since it appears that neither presidential candidate is likely to support us in these efforts,” he said, “we’re focused on maximizing the number of principled leaders in the House and Senate who will.”
In other words: We don’t help Trump against Hillary, but will help potentially hostile establishment politicians get into Congress.
Trump has been embraced by many Republican voters, but David and Charles Koch have deep policy differences. The libertarian-leaning Koch brothers oppose Trump’s position on immigration, trade, minimum wage and criminal justice reform, among others.
The day before, Trump thumbed his nose at the Koch gathering from Twitter.
“I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch,” the New York billionaire tweeted. “Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!”
Koch has put the network’s budget at roughly $750 million through the end of 2016.

They’ll all be happy when Hillary is in charge and crooked government and business practices stay the same.
That’s a true statment
actually, We will be glad when Future President Hillary Rodham Clinton/Vice President Tim Kaine are in power; the country will be safer for all and will be moving in a positive direction, in some instances continuing the progress made during the past 8 years; unlike the losses of ‘w’s’ administraion with it melt down at the end leaving President Obama to clean it up and he has, lowering the deficit, bailing out the Automobile Industry (which paid back the bail out WITH INTEREST), giving this country the ACA so that more people have Health Insurance than ever before; passing the Equal Pay/Equal Work for federal employees…….
…unlike trump who would ban all muslims, deport 12 Million Hispanics, overturn the ACA, close our borders, loose his brownshirts on anyone who questioned anything he does….
roflmao-are you on drugs
Probably truth serum since what she said is factual.
Wow have you been the victim of some very bad information. with Hillary you would get the continued killing of babies, open borders, women will lose rights because they will be considered property. Hillary has gotten millions from Muslim countries and that is exactly what they believe. When that Muslim father spoke a the Democratic convention, his wife was not allowed to speak. i believe it was Idaho where a 14 year old Muslim boy attacked a FIVE YEAR OLD girl. The little girl is afaid to leave her apartment because her attacker still lives next door. You could make a worse choice than her
Great God Almighty you are a complete and total asshole.
what in the world are you smoking or taking??? it has to be really good. Killary is the lowest piece of scum there is. The economy is rotten, and the two peas in a pod Killary and Obammy are so dirty they can’t keep the lies straight…Killary let men die in Benghazi, she lied about not sending emails with classified info out, Comey said that was a lie she sent out over a hundred. She rigged the DNC so she would be sure to win the nomination..Please tell me you are not really foolish enough to vote for another four years of illegals immigrants coming in to our country with there darn diseases and killing and raping our women. They are illegals…Trump said that illegals are going to checked out thoroughly and the legals are fine.
TRUMP FOR 2016 GO TRUMP….
Trump is truly an honest caring citizen who would like to help make America great, strong and rich again and once again have the respect of the world. Look at his kids, Trumps parenting skills are exceptional. He accepts responsibility and provides for and educates his children. Unlike most democrats who thinks the governments Owes them everything and expects entitlements for themselves and the children they choose to bring into this world. Trump plans to support and grow our military, NOT reduce it as last presidents prevous practices. He also knows how to run a business successfully and believe me running this country is a business. If we continue to grow our nations debt we will soon be a country of no strengthh and wealth. I believe trump could take care of our country and realign this big overspending government all the while spending our country’s money wisely. He would reduce the national debt because he is caring and smart unlike his opponent who only cares about lying to the people and cares only about the clintons lives, the clintons are like a moffia and so many people go around like sheep with blinders on and believe every thing that evil lady says.The issue on borders. Hmm don’t we all have doors on homes well then our country is our home and we need a wall (a large door). And only let those in who are safe to let in and we invite in. Trump tells the people the truth and Americans really have trouble accepting it… They would rather vote for some one who lies yes horrible Hillary who says all is fine and gets away with many crimes. I so hope people open there eyes and wise up and vote for America by voting for Trump in this most important election almost ever.
You are in an alternate universe ! GOD help us all if you really believe that propaganda
Dems were repeatedly asked ‘re Fannie Mae mess by republicans in hearings …..Dems were in control of it….n all replied “all was well”…n we found out it was another lie
You’re sick.
You are a incredible idiot. Where do you get you information to form your unbelievable stupid
viewpoints!
Probably somewhere other than Faux Noise where truth is an afterthought..
You are very disturbed to deny reality and conjure up such crap!!
MindyZumba-
What part of The Liar’s repeated perjuries(criminal offenses) do you not understand?
What part of her refusing to send help to the US embassy in Libya do you not understand?
What part of her lying to the parents of the dead embassy staff do you not understand?
What part of her lying about “landing under sniper fire” in Bosnia do you not understand?
i could go on, and on, and on – but seriously? You prefer a KNOWN liar and CRIMINAL to have the office of the presidency, a Treasonous seller of US assets to corporations owned by ENEMIES of the United States People, to Trump?
Can you really care so less about the Supreme Law of the Land?
But i’ll tell you this before you go much further; every man and woman working for the USG – including all military, including all special ops units of all services – swear an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
By declaring your support for a known Criminal, Liar, and Murderer(at a minimum, by depraved indifference), you are ALSO declaring that you are an ENEMY of the Constitution, therefore an enemy of every honorable, Oath-KEEPING military man and woman, as well as police, firefighters, and so on.
You need to consider quite carefully just whom you are affronting, and who will be your enemy if you continue this course of action.
Mindy Zumba: You are so wrong until it is disgusting. You are about as sick as you can be. Of course, everyone knows you are a Hillary “sheeple” and does not pay any attention to you. How in the world can Obama be paying the debt down when it continues to grow by leaps and bounds………..and now over 19 trillion and getting closer to 20 trillion. You have got to be listening to the propaganda from the Hillary–Tim Kaine campaign. As far as Bush leaving Iraq in a mess and Obama cleaning it up is in fact a bald face lie………he left everything just fine and had left a few American military behind to help Iraq get back on their feet. He went to Congress with this and they agreed………Bush was watching a growing group on the border between Iraq and Iran,,,,,,,,,he knew if those remaining military was brought home or removed from Iraq the terrorists group on the border would move right in. That is exactly what happened too……….Obama had them removed and brought home……….then what we know as ISIS’s moved right into and took over all our military equipment that Obama had them to leave………really neat wasn’t it for Obama making sure it ended that way so his favorite terrorists had equipment to operate with. You are so out of connection over what Obama and Hillary has done to this country it is disgusting to even talk to you about. You are exactly what Obama and Hillary wants so you will vote for them……….you are such a “sheeple” that you believe every word they throw out there to you dumb people. President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and a large majority of Democrats agreed with Bush that Huesein had WMD……..probably some Republicans, too. They are about as dim witted as the Democrats are and both party so disrespitable in every way toward this country. This Obama administration is the worst we have had in a very hard time………they are so full of corruption and crookedness………..our entire government and that includes Hillary Clinton who is one of the worst.
Chartex, I agree with you 100%. Hillary just proved herself to be a liar again on her interview with Mike Wallace Sunday night. Most democrats know that she is a liar, but that does not bother them. Neither do they care that she is a thief, and she is responsible for e-mails being sent that were classified. I wish I knew why people would vote for this lying witch. I wish they would realize that when she lies about all of these things that are so serious, just think how she lies to all of you on things that are not so serious. She is not going to help any of you, but you still fall for the lies. Hillary does not know how to tell the truth. Why did she tell us that she was under fire in Bosnia? There was no need to lie about that. She knew the truth would come out, but she just cannot keep from lying. She has been lying for so many years, and you democrats believe her. WHY? What has she ever accomplished? Don’t you respect and love your country more than casting a vote for her. Please vote wisely.
How wrong you are. Hillary will and has sold Americans out.
Now if that doesnt sound like a canned speach .written down by the same people who betrayed there own people by manipulating the primaries and letting the Democrats know That your opinion doesnt matter and they will manipulate it so the one who lost looks like she actually won. And once again has her people breaking the laws of the election process. Doesnt sound like Democracy to me . Its just another case of Democratic voter Fraud. I wonder if everyone would still think shes for the African Americans if they saw her mocking them wearing Black face makeup with bill looking like an inbread. Look it up under Hillary Wearing Black face if you dont believe me.
Mindy actually Bush bailed out the anti industry in October of 2008 given them 17.5 billion dollars against the will of Congress and the people. When Obama took office in 2009 he increased the amount to 85 billion dollars and took credit for saving the auto industry costing the taxpayers a loss of 23 billion dollars He took credit for jobs created including those created by Ford which was not a part of the bail out . Therefore Obama cost the taxpayers 23 billion dollars and took credit for something he had nothing to do with.
Please check your facts before voting and posting. I pray you are not serious about the rest of your post as it is dangerous thinking I want to there as others have corrected you on those views.
Making history playing the women card is not what this country needs now. Our security ….our honor and our dignity is so much more important than putting a liar …a thief…..a traitor in office just because she is a woman.
Hell no. Hillary will kill this country. Wake up and see what lies she has said.
Ms. Zumba, what have you been drinking? Obama has not cleaned up anything. The federal deficit has skyrocketed under his administration. Federal spending is out of control. Health insurance costs have tripled. Some people now pay more on health insurance premiums than they do on their mortgage. The government did bail out General Motors (not Ford) and now 75% of all GMC vehicles are manufactured in China. Unemployment only appears to be down because some people have stopped looking for work or not receiving unemployment compensations and are not reported on the stats. Other people are working at two part time jobs to make ends meet, Others are referred to as under employed because they are working at jobs that pay less than what their education, skills, and experience might expect. But they would rather work than be on the dole. And now Hillary has promised to put coal miners out of work. Our country has been going down hill for the past eight years. And Hillary is a major security risk.
I Just have One Question and Statement to Make Question Are You Mentally Ill and on Meds and if Not You Should Be Because if You Think Killary is Going to Make us Safer You are Retarded.
They would like to see the country in the toilet. I would hope that no woman would consider voting for Hillary because of the money she has gotten from Muslim countries. Muslims have the horrible idea that women are considered property. I am sure this is exactly what Hillary wants
THEY BE RINOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Traitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pussylappers……………
How can they be so blind? So stupid? If hill would happen, just by sheer fraud, to get in, we’re screwed. Don’t believe me, sit back and watch it happen and remember you read it here and more than likely, hundreds of other places also. Watch the boo hooin’ and bawling and beseeching that will take place.
Too late! And remember you did this.
I don’t like the Koch Bros., but…..at least they are backing Republicans for congress who want to stabilize America’s financial future. That is a good thing. And it hit me, they are part of the rich 1%, right? Well we have the other 99% of Americans to draw from for Trump! And by the polls he is ahead right now!
I hope U are right!
Nice thought Bill. I hope a lot of people will wise up and reealise what a fraud she is
Any comment from the Koch’s or others that they DON’T want Hillary to win, is a crock and anyone with a brain knows it. They are only interested in protecting their pro-unfair trade interests around the world and could care less about the American people and whether or not they have jobs. They sucked their fortunes out of our country, so they’ve achieved the American Dream. Let’s hope there are enough real Americans with the means and gratefulness to help finance Trump’s and other campaigns to bring a robust economy and jobs back to our country, finally protect us from illegals, many whom have assaulted and killed our innocent citizen, by ENDING illegal immigration, protecting us from the terrorists that these FAKE conservatives want to continue to stream into our country, etc. The Koch’s are politicians like Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, etc. are the problems in our country and these are the very people that are bringing us down as a nation. They’ve made millions while living off the taxpayers, while in Congress. Unless Hillary Clinton wins – their gravy train is over.
DISGUSTED!!
Koch Brothers are trying to control the gov for themselves. I intend on voting out any congressmen that have been there too long. Remember last fall when they were in a gridlock. Nothing was getting done? Trump can change the mess we are in. He needs us all to donate even if small amounts. I am doing my part and I hope the ppl who care about our country do the same. Otherwise our country will be unrecognizable after Hilliary takes over.
THE KOCH BROS. DON’T SEE THIS AS “OUR” COUNTRY, THEY BELIEVE IT’S “THEIR” COUNTRY!
Koch won’t support Trump because Trump supports America. Trump wants to crush the corrupt politicians. Do you really think Hillary is telling you the truth in her speeches?
Her quote ” I try and tell the truth”…..even that was a lie.
That’s true. The Koch brothers are vicious game players, just like George Soros. They support Hillary one way or the other. We’re all screwed, along with Donald Trump, who stuck his neck out to try to change things. Its too late. We should have done it a long time ago, and we didn’t.
That’s what greedy butts want. Kochs suck. They want Crooked Hell bc they can buy her like the others, elite political S BITH parties too.
The big money people are more comfortable with Clinton, because they know her. They know how she can be influenced. Obviously they don’t know exactly what Trump will do, so they’re playing it ‘safe.’ But look on the bright side Mr. Trump. If you win you won’t owe them anything. They won’t have their hooks into you.
They are all a part of the “shadow government” that pulls all the strings behind the scenes.
actually, We will be glad when Future President Hillary Rodham Clinton/Vice President Tim Kaine are in power; the country will be safer for all and will be moving in a positive direction, in some instances continuing the progress made during the past 8 years; unlike the losses of ‘w’s’ administraion with it melt down at the end leaving President Obama to clean it up and he has, lowering the deficit, bailing out the Automobile Industry (which paid back the bail out WITH INTEREST), giving this country the ACA so that more people have Health Insurance than ever before; passing the Equal Pay/Equal Work for federal employees…….
…unlike trump who would ban all muslims, deport 12 Million Hispanics, overturn the ACA, close our borders, loose his brownshirts on anyone who questioned anything he does….
MindyZumba-
i agree with you that the Shrub(bush junior) was a horrible president, an idiot who repeatedly let his puppetmaster Cheney pull his strings.
At the end of the Shrub maladministration, he had racked up more debt than any president before him, having completely trashed the surplus handed to him by his predecessor, involving the US in TWO Unconstitutional wars of aggression, and making CERTAIN that all his corporate buddies made OBSCENE amounts of money from their warmongering.
That said, D’OweBama has more than DOUBLED the debt that he saw when he got in office.
Please tell me how doubling the debt equates to lowering the deficit.
It would be like me taking out a second mortgage on my home, then declaring that i “owed less” than when i didn’t have a second mortgage.
Seriously. Do you HEAR yourself?
Here’s a thought for you….
If crooked Hillary were to get elected and she keeps brining in sharia Muslims ( wants a 550% increase) then she’ll not be in office very long because they believe that women are NOT allowed to be in leadership roles!!!!!!!
That’s a hoot!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!
Koch brothers should never ever be trusted. Period, those assholebrothers are always crooked as hell along wilts killary, thought trump smarter than that come on trump you,er better than those two clowns.
Sounds like the big money do not want to support Trump because Trump does not sound like a standard Polly. Trump has been quite up front that he wants our government to not be purchased by folks with lots of money.
That is right I totally agree with you. Trump can’t be bought and paid for. So the elites who use their money to weld influence in our government have no control of him. The fact that he isn’t’politically correct is part of his appeal. He is a successful business man that has accomplished all he has by surrounding himself with the best and brightest in their sector to fill positions in his administration. Unlike Obama who has filled many of his appointments with men from the Muslim brotherhood. He quotes the Qur’an way more often than he does from the Bible.I think the republicans should think long and hard before trying to oust Trump. Some of us are watching and care.
Find out who these “donors” will be backing and VOTE AGAINST THEM. Irrespective of the money given, it is after all actual votes that count. Start by getting Paul Ryan out this August. Make the touch of the Kochs and others like them be a curse rather than a blessing they think it is.
2016: VOTE TRUMP/PENCE
VOTE COMMON SENSE.
Wonder what Kochscate getting for their 750 million dollars.
If and when we the people join together to vote for Trump, we do not need rich money. But there are so many politically uneducated people out there, so many are wanting all free stuff, that’s all they want. – so simple. it is so hard to win over this kind of people and Dems are aiming for these group . It takes so much money to campaign all over the states. I wish we don’t have to spend so much money but American politicks won’t work that way so what are you going to do ?? MONEY BUYS ELECTION.
The Democrats don’t even need the money for political ads. They have 80% of the media doing it for them.
and they have taken down the Fox New who was for Trump
Really sad!
Politically uneducated,,,,,,,,,,, HMPH!!!! Try just plain stupid!! I was watching “Waters World” on fox sunday,,,, he showed a pic of JFK to a 20’s female and she didn’t know who it was…. Her response to it when she found out who it was is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, “Before my time” JUST PLAIN STUPID!!!!!
I am a retired ole coot with very limited income, but my wife and I will scrounge up 50 to $100 a month to send Trump for the next 3 or 4 months. Since it seems all the big boys that know it all and think the average person is too stupid to vote are against Trump, That is all I need to know to believe that trump is the right person for the job of President and to restore American PRIDE and Greatness. Individually we cant compete money wise with fat cats like the Koch brothers and their kind. If we all come together as Americans and support Mr. Trump with all we can through this election, we can make those guys look like the crap they are.
Trump 2016 God Bless America and protect Donald Trump Let Freedom Ring.
It is not money that wins elections, it is votes!
Talk to people around you, persuade them to give common sense a chance.
There are more of us than the 400 donors. So
2016: VOTE TRUMP/PENCE
VOTE COMMON SENSE.
These people are against equal freedom for all people and law breakers
The Koch Brothers are ANTI-AMERICAN—they are out for themselves and could care less about the Republican Party or the American people—they are liars –cheats and bully’s—and they are working to elect the criminal Hillary Clinton
Need to send The Koch Brothers To Siberia, and keep their money and noses out of the United States of America.
They have to know Hillary R. Clinton is a pathological liar, and a crook. The Koch Brothers can take the Clinton Clan
to Siberia with them, GOOD RIDDANCE, to the lot of them.
All Trump has done is crow about how he doesn’t want their help and that he has $10 Billion.
They are concerned that they cannot control Trump but can get what they want if Hillary wins…..Shame on them……Sounds as if they want to put people in Congress who will not support Trump…
All Republicans, etc. must go vote for Trump…
VOTE TRUMP/PENCE 2016
WE THE VOTING HARD WORKING AMERICAN VOTERS DO NOT WANT YOUR CROOKED CORPORATE SLAVE LABOR DIRTY MONEY. THAT IS JUST ONE MORE REASON WE SUPPORT TRUMP . DIRTY MONEY ONLY BUYS VOTERS AND GANGSTERS AND DIRTY POLITICIANS SUPPORTING THE BIGGEST CROOK AND LIAR ON EARTH. HILLARY CLINTON.
Koch brothers are bad just like Hillary, the USA will go down the drain if Hillary is president
AMEN; I’m with you on that.

Its sad that the democrats don’t want him in office and neither does the crooked republicans ,that should show the people how crooked people are and are scared trump will expose them all
When the Donald gets done with those assholes, they’ll all be selling pencils in front of the White House.
To heck with the OLD Koch bros.if they they could do better with liar Hillary, then….. Go for it mr. Koch bros!!!! Go , Go !!!!
Apple CEO Cook is setting up a fundraiser for her. With the richest people in the world against him, it does make you wonder…
No, it doesn’t make you wonder. As bad as she is, she is preferable to him and most people would rather vote for her OR one of the other candidates/ He is allegedly one of the richest people in the country, so he can fund himself, especially if he keeps proclaiming that he cannot be bought.
If this be true then I’ll not purchase Apple products.
The media was so quick to prop up Trump as the Republican top dog, that no one bothered to ask if the guy was even sane. Even The Koch Bros., who would sell out the middle class in a heartbeat to make a buck, can’t back an egomaniac phony like Trump. How sad for America.
The average citizen my age remember Hitler and WW 11. Not much history in schools now on Hitler and how he took down Germany and Europe. If you haven’t read this history, start with WW1, You will find that Hitler took down Germany with Debt, Exclusive orders, went over Parliament. (Congress & Senate) , Hitler’s army took everything the citizens owned, took over the banks, killed millions of citizens, used citizens as guinea pigs, Hitler didn’t anticipate that the USA would invade France and. help get Europe back to a solvent government. Do you want the same here as Europe is experiencing with terrors? Hitler targeted the Jewish people. My brother was in Germany at end of war cleaning up Hitler’s camps and where his Military buried prisoners alive. Cuba did same thing under Castro.
Obama is taking our country down with debt and exclusive orders. Terrors with refugees and illegal. I live close to Mexican borders and it’s very bad situation. I am aware of things news don’t report.
We need a wall to control who comes into the country. We need our Military, not Obama’s Homeland Security, our Border Patrol needs real bullets, NOT RUBBER ONES! Our law enforcement needs terrors training.
Our schools are going the same direction Hitler took schools in Germany.
GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY! TRUMP HAS HIT ON EVERY ISSUE I WAS ASKING MYSELF I WATCHED OBAMA’S FIRST SPEECH! CHANGE!! WHAT KIND OF CHANGE?? ASK YOURSELF, THE TERRORS ATTACKS WERE COVERED UP. I KNEW ABOUT THE TERRORS IN SAN BERNARDINO WERE TAKEN OFF WATCH 2 DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK. OUR GOVERNMENT FBI WASN’T AWARE OF THIS??!!=%#!÷%& COVER UP. CHANGE! Trump is the only WAY. EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO VOTE! NO MORE FRAUD OR NON CITIZENS VOTING. TAXPAYERS CAN’T AFFORD HILLARY.
Mark Mathews; do you have any PROOF of that accusation?
Well I’ll back her up if that means anything. A lot of this stuff has been either re-written in the History books or just left out all together!
The Koch brothers are anachronisms. They were part of the old republican party. The republican party is now Trump’s party in this respect – he has made it a part of the people again.
What are the Koch brothers going to do when all of this division backfire on them. They’re going to finance establishment republicans who are going to give Trump nothing but problems if he wins. The best thing Trump can do is call them out on this. They’re becoming part of the problem not part of the solution. Maybe they just don’t understand how much the people are tired of the GOP lies and manipulation. This could cause a greater division in the GOP. If they lose the base, they are doomed.
So far everything Hillary has tried has backfired. This will too. Must be GOD AND LOTS OF PRAYER. SHE WELL SHUT DOWN COAL MINES IN EAST COAST, PA, WVA AND OHIO. TRUMP IS VERY INTELLIGENT! He isn’t a POLITICIAN’S AND THAT IS A PLUS FOR CITIZENS.
GOD! HE IS STILL BLESSING US.
How much wealth is enough for the Koch Bros.? They are old and will die too. They cannot take their money with them. They are a disgusting people. American citizens mean nothing. This country has been so good to them and they want to destroy it with NWO. What is wrong with these people. The devil has taken over this world and only God can make it right again. God help us!
As you probably know, Trump was in Colorado Springs at the same time as the Koch brothers. He tweeted that they wanted to meet with him. They didn’t want that; so he sort of showed up anyway, as he did during Ted Cruz’s convention speech.
Before Trump’s Colorado Springs speech, Trump’s security people didn’t know how to work the hotel elevator and he ended up stuck between two floors and had to be rescued through the top of the car by the fire department. Then, during the speech, he said that the CS Fire Dept. “doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing” because his campaign had given away tickets to more people than the fire code would allow in the auditorium.
The hotel has put a card in the elevator naming it “The Trumpster” because that elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor.
law5960-
i know that you’re no Trump supporter, but even so, i had to LOL on that one!
Did you make that one up? Or did it come from one of the late-nite comedians employed by CCMSM?
So what it boils down to is this, the American citizen gets screwed …. Again…and the ones that are really running politics are the Koch brothers and George Soros. Killary is bought and paid for by Wall Street. Trump loves America and has been consistent in his ideas pro and con about America for the past 40 years. He’s not going to change now (can’t say the same for Killary, don’t know what side of an issue she’s on from one day to the next). Trump 2016…Let’s take our country back!!
KOCH BROTHERS YOU SUCK. You are turncoats just like all the politicians. Why you would not fight against Hillary is beyond me. We need change and an outsider not Hillary who is a proven corrupt evil vicious woman who will KILL TO BE NOMINATED. She uses people as you KOCH BOYS. You may be rich but you are not liked. You are as corrupt and that’s sad. The rich get richer and meaner as they age. TRUMP/PENCE 2016 HILLARY/LOCK HER UP.
How can the Koch brothers want Hillary just because they don’t like Trump. They are cutting off their noise to spite their face. Trump will bring the USA back to a GREAT place to live. Hillary will pick up where Obama left off and bring the USA down. We need TRUMP to bring us back to a GREAT Country.
Patriotic and responsible Republicans and Democrats will vote for the Libertarian Party candidates: Gary Johnson and Bill Weld–both former Republican two-term Governors. Fiscally conservative but socially liberal. They are the middle ground.
actually WE VOTE FOR DARRELL CASTELL AND SCOTT BRADLEY CONTITUTION PARTY! BOTH FORMER REPUBLICANS AND FOR THE DECLARATION IF INDEPENDANCE AND CONSTITUTION! NOTHING MORE PATRIOTIC THAN THAT!
It’s time that we the people stand up and take our country back, and Trump is the one that can do this.
All these cronies, and Dem are just looking at how mush they will loose when Trump get into office.
Hillary is a liar, thief, and a murder.
Wake up Amercia. Trump seen this coming 28 years ago, on the Oprah Winfree interview. he loves this country, and stands for we the people.
You are right. Even the black and Mexicans are voting for Trump. They don’t want to live under Muslim laws. TRUMP WILL GET OUR COUNTRY BACK ON TRACK.
NO THEY ARE NIT! U don’t speak for all these people! Really!!
It just goes to show that the Koch Bothers are part of the Commie/Satan Driven/NWO and are corrupt as they come! Boycott eveything they produce…Commie/B*STARDS..!!! God help us, PLEASE!
The only party to change that are us, WE, the people. The establishment GOP, and DNC are both in the same boat, with lucrative dealings with their billionaire cronies. These parties won’t change. they’d rather have the CROOKED , CORRUPT, AND LIAR Hillary Clinton get elected to stay in their comfortable lifestyle. They are milking the system in a qui-pro-quo. We must elect Donald Trump. He does not depend on these old party, GOP and DNC who corrupt the system. We must stay true to Trump to make the changes happen. Let us do it, and make him win the presidency. No Hillary’s big lying mouth please.
I can’t stand her face and wide mouth laughing. Read the Cash Machines of the Clintons. And watch the film “Hillary’s American” These are all historical documentary, and will open your eyes wide who really are the Clintons and the Democrat party are all about. The truth will set you free. Knowledge is power.
Trump for president! Crooked HIllary for prison!
How terribly bad does it have to get in our U.S.A. here today before THE SILENT MAJORITY/THE GOOD U.S.A. citizens will have voted this coming November to put Donald J.Trump in office begining in January 2017 ???
Life as we know it (even as bad as it is at this moment) will become so much worse if he loses in November ! Good people MUST NOT GIVE UP.
Focus on what you know your PARENTS would have wanted for you and for their grandchildren, et alia. VOTE FOR DONALD J.TRUMP. Proven, Professional Politicians owned by Greedy Special Interests for countless decades together with major foreign interests have thoroughly corrupted our Government (pretty much both political parties).
Never have they been threatened like they are now by someone like THE DONALD !!!
Have you thought that just maybe our LOVING GOD OF CREATION has presented him and his Presidency to “CLEAN HOUSE HERE” at this time ?
Most of what comes out of the mouths and texts of so many Professional Politicians and MainStream Media is truthful and good for innocent, trustworthy people.
Just that simple. We can and must do it: VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP this November. This is our last chance to save our U.S.A. !!!
The Koch Brothers may join up with the Trump campaign later. Although they have disagreements with Trump there is a reality that shouldn’t be overlooked. If Donald Trump wins without their money they are going to have very little influence once he wins.
This may make the race interesting for the Democrats. They have demonized the Koch Brothers but the Republican candidate isn’t going to get any money from them. Donald Trump may use this to go after Hillary Clinton’s willingness to take large amounts of money from special interests. For the Bernie Sanders supporters: it looks like Hillary is the candidate that has been bought by the wealthy special interests; Donald Trump seems to be running his campaign without the money and the expectations that come with the money.
May e we the people could boycott every Koch product? I certainly shall.
Correction to my text above: “Most of what comes out of the mouths and texts of Professional Politicians and Main Stream Media is Not Truthful.
Kochs will soon meet their Maker, they can answer to Him why in their greed for more power, can ignore peoplewho are trying to help
build a better life for every American. Koch doesnt care about us.
I’m all for Trump. He has out-witted Hillary all along the way. I pray he will win the election, and then go for all the help we need in many different areas. According to the bible, Hillary shouldn’t even be running for president. So be it, if she wants a war with Christ. I pray, and let Christ be the one who puts into office the one who should and will be elected.
The Koch bros own a lot of companies. Look the up and boycott their products. Affect their pockets!
Supporting a Hillary Clinton presidency is tantamount to destroying what little democracy we have left. This pseudofemale is an sntiAmerican with a deep desire to show her husband she can become president and destroy the only democracy left in this world. Maybe she thinks he will give up his ongoing creative playtime. In truth he is more desirable to the many bimbos he hits on. Anybody but Hillary. In that we are in agreement.
I like most Americans, do not want to vote for either candidate in November, BUT, since I am neither rich or very educated, I feel it is my duty as an American citizen to VOTE, I think it would only be fair to VOTE FOR TRUMP. The Democrates have had 8 years to do something for “we the people” and things have only gotten worse! Time for a change & God Bless America!
Those that won’t vote, have never voted at all for NO REASON, but yet do nearly all of the finger pointing and complaining about the corruption are the ones that let it happen and are only helping out Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton(HKRAKC). The
NON VOTERS ARE HITLERY KILLERY ROTTON AYATOLLAH KHOEMENI CLINTON’S BEST FRIENDS & REAL SUPPORTERS.
NOT VOTING IS A TRUE & REAL WASTED VOTE & IS A VOTE FOR HKRAKC-HITLERY KILLERY ROTTON AYATOLLAH KHOEMENI
CLINTON. My vote is for the TRUMP-PENCE ticket, TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY.
They can do what they want. Their money doesn’t buy MY VOTE !! My vote will go to who I believe has we the people and our countries best interest at heart. My vote will still be going to Donald Trump, he was put in this race for a reason beyond us.
Davey and Chuckles endorsement cements mine!
Does anyone have a list of those traitors to the cause of freedom and liberty for our country, at the Koch brother’s little anti-Trump gathering in the Rockies?? Trump is the one saying he is going to help business, and reduce corporate tax, NOT HILLary! I understand Sen. Mike Lee and and Sen Cruz went; was Ryan there too? Where did they get the money to buy in to this anti-Trump group? Do they not realize Trump is the “PEOPLE’S CHOICE”. What in the world is going on? Something nefarious, it seems to me, that the “Good Old Boys” (GOP) are plotting against OUR candidate!!! It just does not make sense they want to give the election to the most devious, deceitful, delusional, decadent, dangerous, decisive, derelict, domineering, disastrous, candidate in American history. Just look at the video, “Clinton Cash” !!!!!!
Trump is OUR choice and WE THE PEOPLE MUST GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HIM It is up to US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To heck with them folks.
Lady Patriot, Those “good ole boys” don’t give a dam what we the people want. According to them we the people are too dumb, uneducated and so far beneath them that all us little ants are nothing. We need them to make all the decision for us. The whole bunch of them can stuff it. I will personally vote against anyone the Koch nuts are supporting. Just cant bring my self to vote for a democrat.
Trump 2016
These rich people are afraid of Trump because they know they can’t control him….he can’t be bought because he’s at least as rich as they are, if not more. It’s a laugh, actually. These dumbos don’t realize that Americans aren’t stupid and we won’t bow down to the big money in this country. It does nothing for us…we need a real President and we hope it won’t be old mrs. clinton…….
The nasty criminal cabal of world leaders, Elite and dumb Democrats and the RINOs would rather continue in theft of our government and its patriots for personal gain. Just search the WEB for these comments and tell me that is what you want to continue.??? … Then tell others of these comments and vote Trump.
47 deaths of Clinton friends …or barbells crushing throat of former U.N. Diplomat John Ashe (day before he was to testify about bribery 6/23/16) …or Operation Zero Footprint …or MH17 evidence shows two Ukrainian fighters … or Biden’s Son Ukraine Oil Deal (May 2014) …or Clinton, Bush, Romney, Mena Airport Drug Drops …or Cash flows to Clinton Foundation from Russian Uranium Deal…or Clinton friend Fethullah Gulen, Pocono Mountain, PA …or Hillary Middle East contacts (funding Clinton funds) starting ISIS and coup in Turkey …or Hillary’s huge scandal list 25 and the then “The Clinton-Cash-movie” on Utube as ‘ /watch?v=7LYRUOd_QoM ’
You can easily add a dozen more. Her real body count could easily exceed 100 and you wonder why Bernie Drops out. I just found Democrats answer to their great economy. “57-Nation Coalition” to sink our dollar
Don’t forget Waco & the Waco massacure dude the Figurehad Bill Clinton years in the White House, plus other deaths that have taken place where the Clinton’s are behind it all. The number exceeds 100 at the very minimum and most likely will be more before it’s all over
with for them.
NO matter! What NONE of these “Creatures” GET is the fact that it’s TOO LATE for them. The Battle Lines have BEEN drawn and are only a little ways from being finished. They have chosen the WRONG SIDE in this. There is STILL a TINY WINDOW of opportunity to get in BEFORE the Ark door SLAMS SHUT but MOST of them WON’T take it. They are CONFIDENT that they have made a GOOD deal with satan for themselves, that they are TOO SMART for him, and that he would NEVER Double-Cross them but they do NOT get the fact he NEVER LOSES, is 100 steps AHEAD of them, and ALWAYS gets his way once you sell out to him. There NEVER was an EXCEPTION and they will NOT be the first. STILL not POSITIVE about Trump yet but to a THINKING PERSON, it’s ALWAYS been a PERFECT WAY to judge a Man’s character and intent by looking directly at those that OPPOSE him and the DEGREE to which they turn up their hate and lies in his direction. So far he’s looking DAMN FINE to me! Hang on to your HATS my Brothers and Sisters, we have FRONT ROW SEATS and it’s gonna be BIBLICAL!!!!
I wish if Mr.Trump could build a wall between Hillery Clinton supporters and his supporters and have a competition who will make bather future for Americans. I will and I’m now supporting M. Trump and I’m totally agree with slogan “luck her up “
Trump called trouble on himself and I think GOP should withdraw his nomination now and let’s have only one candidate – Hillary on November 8 at 8 am. After all Trump is falling in the polls badly. As today Trump is trailing Clinton by 13 points in red-state. There is no way Trump can recover given his goofs of and on especially with Russia and now with the military. Trump seems to hate American women and Megan Kelly was right Trump goes abroad to get illegals as wives when he knows were have plenty of beautiful women here in this Big USA and they come in all colors: Black, White, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Latina. Why does Trump have to go Europe for wives. I suggest GOP withdraws its nomination now. Hillary should be the only one competing for the WH job on November 8 at 8 am.
What drugs are you taking?
I want some of those drugs!!!!!!!
Masanja must be snorting the bath water again!!!!!!!
What a dumb statement!
The Koch Brothers are not much, if any, better than George Soros in my opinion.
It never seem to change, sadly Donald Trump have a huge task to beat this corruption, before the witch steel the presidency, another thing too is the rigged electronic voting system Gems, with stealth manipulation built-in to have go in one’s favour.
I pray for everyone who think that by Voting we effect the outcome, it’s already been decided. Period
Vic
One of major factors that make a lot of rich people like the Koch Bros, Soro’s, Gates and so on so badly want globalism, is not to make things better for the population but to expand their extortion ring around the world for more control, power and wealth.. They are a bunch of greedy tycoons…. The more you open up the borders, the more money for the already rich and powerful.
They don’t care if Hillary and other greedy politicians take a few million here and there, as it is peanuts against what they have and only benefits their whole cause anyway..
More proof that Trump is an outsider to them.. Sure he is a billionaire, not perfect but way too independent for their likes or their Illuminati power club.. A lot of people still think Trump is a globalist.. Just because he has properties around the world doesn’t make him one.. I have and know others who do the same thing. Ours are on just a smaller scale and we appreciate border controls.. Most every country I have visited, has pretty strict immigration, why shouldn’t the USA?
This election is about America remaining an Independent Nation which entails undoing & cleaning up all this Obama/Dem. Global path maneuvering that has been undermining our Democracy, constitution, and universal one language & one law & order system, values & ethicsetc. etc. (Trump card) or going along with reducing America to just another third rate unproductive land mass of chaos with bunch of unlimited languages and fractions fighting each other for limited resources, food, water shelter and going why isn’t Hillary stocking groceries for my ration of food stamps? What happened to 911? JUST VOTE TRUMP!
My vote is not for sale. What the Koch Brothers means zilch to the Republicans that voted for Trump and the many other voters that want the country to come back to the people and out of the elites hands. We will prevail and elect Trump and the Congress and senate that want to remain had better rethink their motives and put the people first and themselves next and support the changes Trump wants to bring! Otherwise Adios
Koch described his first priority as “to preserve the country’s financial future and to eliminate corporate welfare.” I guess it is proof they are really crony businessmen, just calling themselves conservatives for the favors. The FIRST priority in this election are the Supreme Court Judges you political idiots!
Koch’s are part of the owner clubof the mainline Repubs = not Conservative/libertarian TEA Party Patriot side of the spectrum.
It’s a good sign- means Trump won’t play their game and won’t be bought by the politico-crony capitalist’s from either side ~!
KOCH BOYS YOU BETTER PUT ALL YOUR MONEY ON THE SENATE. THE COMMOS ARE COMING FOR THE SENATE.THE RINOS SHOULD BE REPLACED.

Buh bye, Koch brothers!
well I am so glad to see that our republican party shot them self in the foot again …by not backing Trump ….By the time this is all over with……… we will have (known) crooked Hillary in office for the next 4 years and you can kiss our free country goodby totally……with all the things she was involved in, she should have not been allowed to run……I think we had a chance on somebody truelly backing the average person….that has just been finished off…we will now have judges in there that will allow impeachment with out being impeached….laws being broken( that hurt our country’s people)immigration laws……….Actually I will not be living thru too many more elections and I’m so glad ………….I am so sad to see my children and grandchildren having to cope with such a crooked system…..I see our country becoming a dictatorship very soon……it is right now when the president can put into effect laws that he wants in ….we will be stuck with these laws………that is not what our constitution was about….It was majority vote….where did that go ………where did commonsense go ….my best choice for pres was Romney and he didn’t make it last term….all you people that want Hillary out you better get out and vote…………Although I am sure that would help…I am about to believe our country is to far under government control….they seem to control the news media and anybody else that that they want to
Pat, many of us feel helpless watching Obama and Hillary lie day after day. More recently, we listened to President Obama lie to us about the VA. Does he really believe that all he has to do is step up to the microphone and use jive talk i.e. “trash talking” to debunk the fact that the VA isn’t any better just because he tells us it is. He gave no supporting data. Obama lied…again. So, Pat, what I would like to say in response to your heartfelt comments is that you are not alone but we cannot afford to give up because the future of our children and grandchildren are in peril. Hillary Clinton lied about blaming the video on the attack at Benghazi. It is on tape. I believe Donald Trump is correct that Hillary Clinton has a serious mental issue and is a congenital liar. It has been documented that she was fired from her job at the young age of 27 for lying. How can the democrats vote for someone who has a serious problem with telling the truth? As Americans, Pat, we must continue to share the truth on social media and I believe we can make a difference. I hope you have a good day today. We are on the right path.

Our Constitution allows us equal opportunity. Over the past 40 or so years the government has grown, our taxes have grown, and the government has taken funds that belong to social security, by law we are forced to pay. This is not equal. The programs established to provide money to poor for free education, medical, mental health, and the list goes on….This is not equal. We the working people do not even get a tax credit for the funds that is being used for those provisions for the poor. Because the money we pay into Social Security is being used for donations to the poor, or government help programs , shouldn’t we be the grantor, call it something else to go along with the Social Security…so at least we can get a tax break? I believe that the government now, especially …Hillary Clinton is strongly trying to make us equal the same way foreign governments like Japan live. They all work for the government…and government provides. I like my freedom, and resent it when government people try to pass orders and take money from funds that is not intended for government use. I believe Donald Trump will handle it the right way. I believe he is on the working people side. He has given his word that Social Security will not be lost. I do hope he wins and can get control of the many other things I suspect the government is paying for that we the people pay out of our taxes, and have no say about it.
