Twitter posting RE Trump and Koch Bros
Twitter ^ | 7/30/2016 | Donald Trump

Posted on 07/30/2016 1:10:24 PM PDT by bkopto

I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch. Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!

OK...I’ll take your word for it. I had read some prominent conservatives lately have been lobbying the Koch brothers to back Trump and was hopeful they would.

The Koch brothers are the Democrats 'boogey men' that hold the puppet strings of the Republicans.

It’s not about the money the key is in the Puppets remark....see once you see a marrionette’s strings it ruins the whole thing. The Koch brothers economic interests are more in line with Wall Street/ and foriegn(globalist network) rather than Domestic Main Street...
So Trump Billionaire supporters have most of money in USA...guys like Steve Wynn, and Sheldon Adelson..( i know hes got a casino in Asia..but most of his stuff is here)
Donald knows what he’s doing...Sundance at Conservative Treehouse listed a pile of these names the other day with more details in how this cabal of guys who are not “conservative” but are in the wallet of the US Chamber of Commerce et al.

It undermines his claim to be a reformer if he takes money from them.

They may be on the right side of key issues, but they are political poison.

Trump hopes to get the BernieBros on board. This is an important gesture in accomplishing that goal.

I kind of hope the Kochs stay away. The Burniebots associate Koch with Satan, might be good to make it appear Trump is eschewing all of the perceived “elite”

He is better off not getting into bed with those flea bags

This election, money doesn’t matter, if it did, we would have JEB as our nominee

This is an anti-establishment/anti-corruption election

We had Trump who is anti-establishment and anti-corruption

They are running Hillary who is establishment and corrupt

Even in the crooked polls he is either beating her or right up there with her. Some polls had to change their methodology in order for Hillary to beat Trump
[
They are desperate

We don’t need the Kochs, they bring nothing to the table.

Sure they own businesses and do well for themselves but we don’t need them asking for favors. If they want to donate to Trump, they each can donate the max of 2700 each each election quarter. I have no problem with that kind of donation.

I wouldn’t have minded saving 30 or 40 bucks a month since he isn’t self funding this at all.

An onslaught of commericals would be great in Sep. and Oct.

But at least he wont be beholden to them.

To say money doesn’t matter (not even a little) is not provable and I think, wrong.

How do you know he wouldn’t be up 5 more if he had hit back on TV at all of her commercials.

He wouldn’t be asking and TAKING money from people like me if money didn’t matter, would he?

Oct. commercials to counteract hers will be important, esp. in swing states.

Or he would send me a letter saying “stop sending us money”

The best thing they could do for Trump is endorse Hitlery.

He doesn’t need to be up 5 points right now, save the money for ads a week or so before the election, do a sudden attack. A lot cheaper then running ads now when everyone is on vacation, enjoying the summer and not watching much TV or whatever.

He is asking you to donate, the reason is that it creates a “buy in” into the campaign, a person is more likely to show up and vote and ask others to do so as well if they donated $50 to a campaign then nothing.

The money doesn’t matter, if it did we would have JEB right now rolling over to whatever media attack of the day

yeah, an onslaught the last 2 or 3 weeks :)

And you’re right, I want my money’s worth!!

Do you think 150 bucks total by the election would make me a special interest group? :)

If you are an American citizen, you will be part of the American First special interest group
