Charles Koch says he wont 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."

You just obliquely attacked trump. Prepare for the zotting.
Fine. So If Trump adds Kasich to man the Hug Booth, will you get on board?
Kasich resembles McCain and Romney so it's odd that Koch didn't get behind Kasich...
Appears to me that Koch actually supports Trump over the rest...For political reasons he doesn't want to broadcast that and an offer of money to Trump wouldn't have done him any good anyway...
Incomes are unequal because people are unequal.
“Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP) is an antitaxation advocacy group founded in 2004 and financed by David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who own Koch Industries of Wichita, Kansas.”
Irrelevant. They are not on the Trump bandwagon so they are no better than Soros.
So why did you make your comment about crime must be involved?
You contradict yourself.
Thanks. They were quoted as if they own it. That rubbed me the wrong way.
I can see how they might not want to urge the AFP membership to go up against Trump. AFPs issue advocacy is just about all of Trump’s platform. The only differences the Koch brothers would have with Trump are elements of taste and style on the campaign trail.
Trump is a public fighter, the Koch Brothers are backroom snits. They would be lucky to last a single round in the ring with him. Their surrogate Kasich is a non-starter.
[Charles Koch: Why I Didn’t Try To Stop Donald Trump]
Because Trump is self funding and doesn’t need his money so why bother.
Koch is fine with whoever his money can control. It’s ALWAYS been like that.
It wouldn’t have made a bit of difference in the outcome anyway Koch. Over a half billion dollars in ad money have been spent on trying to take down Trump which has not worked.
It's probably "Bush's fault" and the fault of "typical white people". I don't remember this retard speaking this way about his pal, Obonzo? He didn't seem to have this problem before. BIG money does weird things to peoples' minds, I guess.
Koch has a lot of money but beyond that, I don’t care anything about his opinion.
-—Kochs actual message to the GOP is stop Trump or Ill give 900mil to Hillery-—
I understand Koch reluctance to back any GOP candidate...being a libertarian...
I don’t see where or why he would give Hillary 900 million...
The left regularly demonize them...I can’t see them helping their detractors..
Koch wants his ring kissed, and wants Donald to give him some sort of deal or “carve out”
All business.
“Looks like Koch is fine with Hillary.”
Charles is in love with the Clinton Crime Foundation. Make a big donation and wonderful things will happen.
>The left regularly demonize them...I cant see them helping their detractors..
They're about globalism and cheap labor. The GOP was just cheaper to buy than the Dems.
He loves open border globalists only.
AFP is not for Donald Trump. AFP is not for Ted Cruz. AFP, AFAIK, is not pushing for any candidate in particular. Instead they push for things like the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
AFP is policy oriented, not politician oriented.
Why then is Monsieur ‘Coq’ Koch reported as
follows:
“Charles Koch says he wont 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.”
What the heck did he say?
