Top Donald Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between the GOP presidential nominee and Charles Koch in Colorado Springs on Friday, but Koch aides rejected the entreaties, according to two Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.
Koch and his brother David Koch, who helm an influential network of advocacy groups and major conservative donors, have been sharply critical of Trump’s rhetoric and policy stances and have indicated they do not intend to support his campaign.
Trump in turn has blasted the Kochs and other major conservative donors as puppeteers to whom his GOP primary rivals were beholden, while he touted the independence from Big Money he said he achieved by largely self-financing his campaign.
But the billionaire first-time candidate has dialed back his anti-donor rhetoric since he clinched the GOP nomination and began active fundraising for a general election campaign in which his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and her allies are expected to spend upward of $1.5 billion.

Yes, the Bible refers to this as bribery.
I heard Trump say “I’m with you” instead of “I’m with her” only once. I wish he’d say it more often . I think it’s very effective.
Yep the Kochs have been exposed as globalist shills who care more about their wallets than america. Trump does not need these traitors
That’s the beauty of the Trump candidacy. He’s flushing out all these slimy globalist bastards out of their hiding places.
Why would Crony Capitalists want to meet with Trump? Hillary is their best bet.
I never quite knew what to make of the Koch brothers.
Now I do.
Trump has flushed them all out.
If they don’t think defeating Hillary and not continuing the policies of Obama is important, then they’re not conservatives.
If, and after, he defeats Hillary Clinton; that is the only goal for the next 100 days
” . . because they know he can’t be bought.”
Sure is what it looks like,
Add the Koch brothers to the growing list of outed NWO sleaze masquerading as conservatives,
I saw one of them on TV. He said he was more Libertarian than Conservative.
So, no, they are not Conservative.
Bingo.
Trump met with them over a month ago and wouldn’t budge for their demands. This is a media hit piece trying to show that no one supports Trump. The reality is Trump insist that donors support him or get out of the way.

Gave a $100.00 today!
Was the disgraced Sen. Reid actually right when he launched an attack on the Koch brothers? I forgot what he said, but he was livid.
NO that is not what I am saying...the money people send into the his site
this money goes to him....
The RNC has their own super pack, Trump will say: “I will donate 1 million dollars of my money, (his own money, not money we have sent him) to match however much the super pack takes in for the ‘down ticket’....
The last one he did took in 11 million dollars in less than 24 hours and he matched it and made it 22 million dollars...
He does represent the RNC as the head of the campaign, so he raises money for ‘down ticket’ people up for re election....
Koch Bros. are primarily anti-globalism.
Their support is restricted to those that they believe have an established record of actively fighting globalism.
This is why the MSM despise them.
.
There is zero chance of Koch Bros giving squat to Hillary.
They may yet support Trump; don’t get your panties in a wad!
Don’t believe everything you read.
It’s plain to see that they don’t like Trumps style./s
