The Koch brothers won’t be touching the Republican National Convention with a 10-foot poll, according to a recent ABC report.
They and their major fundraising network will be staying at home, ABC reported.
“Why go?” Charles Koch told ABC. “We’re not interested in politics. We’re interested in moving us towards a culture and policies that will enable people to improve their lives.”
Koch says he has been grossly disappointed in the Republican primary where businessman Donald Trump is leading, but despite his concerns about the state of the race, he told ABC News that he didn’t see a scenario where someone like Paul Ryan could steal the nomination away from Trump at a contested convention.
“If he did [win], I mean that would create the impression this whole thing is rigged, which — that’s the opposite of the direction we want to go,” Koch told ABC.
Koch had also told ABC News in an interview released previously that it is “possible” Democrat Hillary Clinton is preferable to the GOP’s eventual nominee.
Bastards have been bankrolling all kind of crazies, as long as they promise lower taxes and neuter the EPA. They are coming to the realization that taxes and regulations are not the worse thing that can happen to business, like having an uncontrollable ignoramus (Trump) or sadist (Cruz) running things.
Trump: I have single-handedly destroyed Citizen’s United for POTUS race. I am the man of the people.
This man literally means exactly the opposite of every single sentence quoted here.
Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit, and BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSHIT.
“Why go,” Charles Koch asked. “After all, me and my brother have invested tens of millions of dollars to buy the Republican Party, and it turns out that they can’t produce anything near a positive return on investment. Heck, even Clinton earned our stocks a positive ROI, let alone Obama. It’s like we’re personally funding idiots here. Look at Walker. Bought him years ago-- he didn’t even reach a vote before dropping out.”
