The Koch brothers’ political machine is expanding into new states and recruiting new donors as it seeks to shape the Republican Party — and its presidential field — headed into 2016, according to interviews with multiple sources, as well as confidential donor briefing documents obtained by POLITICO. The documents detail plans to beef up the network’s state-of-the-art data system, and pay hundreds of staff embedded in local communities across the country in preparation for get-out-the-vote efforts that are unprecedented from a third-party group.
Yahoo is not really a good source for conspiracy theories
I ain’t clicking. So who is the candidate mentioned in your bracketed addition to the headline?
Walker, so basically duh!
Walker
SQWAAAAAAK!
The attack chihuahua has turned into Harry Reid's parrot.
Figured.
Meh.
The documentation was obtained by Politico.
Koch brothers are big, big, big on amnesty and illegal immigration.
So if Trump wins as himself after Koch bombed out as a candidate, will Koch take the hint finally that we don’t all secretly yearn to be Libertarians?
lol
The Koch brothers, pretty liberal really, are small potatoes in politics. Soros, Gates, Buffett, Peter Lewis and others on the left are much much more involved.
Remember the Koch brothers helped make gay marriage a reality. They support open borders.
They aren’t “right-wing”.
The Kochs are WAY too libertarian for my tastes, with their support of amnesty and fag-marriage. I’d be immediately wary and suspicious of anyone they supported.
I agree. I should think their candidate would be like minded or amenable on those issues or they wouldn’t support him.
Yes, they are big on illegal immigration. What more do we need as evidence when the candidate they support also wants Rubio as a running mate?
Excellent point.
I guess the question is will the Koch’s candidate take the hint. Looks like they support Walker.
Here’s the link to the Politico page that *should* have a link to the Yahoo story, which is supposedly sourced in Politico:

Yahoo is an extreme leftist source. Lately they have posted an occasional story from a conservative source but it is rare. They haven’t a clue how to be fair.
I’d say they’re all pretty involved.
