You didn’t state what elective office either of the Koch brothers holds. Or even what party office either holds. THEN it would be a legitimate comparison.
In the meanwhile, they are private citizens; Obama is President of the United States and leader of the Democrat Party.
It remains apples to oranges.
It does not remain that.
It isn’t apples to oranges to say that the principle of tying figures - be it a Republican replacing Obama in 2016 and tying locally elected candidates to him or the Koch Brothers being tied to locally elected candidates - continues on and on and continues the process of making local elections and locally elected people nationalized figures and nationalized elections.
A tactic itself does not have to have an elected official.
The tactic itself is what I am talking about, and remain on, despite your use of Red Herrings.
The point is, should Dems or Repubs try to tie anyone with anyone, be it Koch with a Repub, Soros with a Dem, Obama with any locally elected Senator, or a Repub elected president in 2016 with any locally elected Senator?
