Charles Koch: Why I Didn't Try To Stop Donald Trump
ABC News ^ | 04/24/2016 | ALEXANDER MALLIN & JONATHAN KARL

Charles Koch says he won’t “put a penny” into trying to stop Donald Trump, that there are “terrible role models” among the remaining Republican presidential candidates, and that his massive political network may decide to sit out of the presidential race entirely.

"These personal attacks and pitting one person against the other -- that's the message you're sending the country," Koch said in an exclusive interview with ABC News that aired Sunday. "You're role models and you're terrible role models. So how -- I don't know how we could support 'em."

Romney and McCain are the lovable losers the Koch’s like the best.

Looks like Koch is fine with Hillary.

Painting himself as ‘above it all’ when his candidates were eliminated handily. What B.S.

If I’m smart enough to agree with Mr Koch on this, how come I’m not rich too?

Perhaps Charles would prefer we bring back Bob Dole.

Koch’s actual message to the GOP is stop Trump or I’ll give 900mil to Hillery. The corruption of the GOP is laid bare.

Koch and Soros are interchangeable parts. The people reject the crap he fronts...good. Koch is a great example of the PROBLEM. He’s a POS and I hope much of the money thrown away by Jeb, Rebio and now Cruz is his. No better person to lose his shirt.

Kochs are part of the cheap labor express. They backed Walker during the Governor recall and had a meeting with him prior to him announcing his candidacy. Trump stands for all that America should be. I am sure the Kochs despise Trump.

It's not why he didn't try -- it's why did he fail so spectacularly that the drive-bys actually want him on the air again.

It's been said that behind every great fortune is a crime. You're smart, just not a criminal.

Koch Brothers have a ***massive political network***?

That’s news to me. Would anyone know what it is?

He may have the worst advisors in the history of billionaires. ‘Okay, the left hates you, let’s go ahead and alienate those on the right that tried to defend you from those lefties. Now those lefties will like you!’

You just summarized the basis of the "income inequality" premise. Is that your belief?

I think everyone is misreading this. Koch isn't party to the cabal trying to sink Trump. He may not support Trump but that doesn't matter because Trump doesn't need his money.
