NEW YORK, March 2 (Reuters) - The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not deploy their $400 million political arsenal to attack Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential primary election, according to an official from the brother's political umbrella group.

Looks like they have seen how much money was wasted on Jeb! and don’t care to waste any of their own in fighting a movement.
Almost makes me want to start an Anti-trump PAC just to siphon money away from them.
At least someone is getting a clue. Maybe they will wait for the Presidential election.
We don’t get much good news these days. I’m glad to hear this. There was some speculation that they would fund the anti-Trump PACs.
“Maybe they will wait for the Presidential election.”
And maybe they should just go back to their millions and stop trying to buy the country for themselves and their monied buddies.
So, is it possible they simply intend to hold-off attacking Trump until after he secures the nomination and then throw their money behind Hillary?
Not saying, just asking.
Hmmm...
I seem Trump told them to be careful.
Trumps’ Tsunami of support is much more powerful!
Easy to see through.
They will pile on Trump when he is the nominee hoping to cause the dims tol win, whomever that may be.
So they really are progressives.
Perhaps they prefer Trump to Romney.

Damn that is a lot of money, I don’t care who you are!
they’re not rich because they’re stupid
It might just be a lie. The SuperPac that is handling the funds they allegedly gave is designed to hide their involvement. They could publicly be saying they’re not involved but, actually, getting very involved through that superpac as planned.
Planned Parenthood killed 300,000 babies last year
Trumps likes Planned Parenthood
Trump voters can’t be bought.
What have they been manipulating that they are now so offended by Trump?
