Trump is the only candidate in the field who has refused donations from rich donors. That single issue is why I like Trump candidacy. There will be no man behind the curtain pulling the strings.

They know that he is one guy that they can’t buy or control. The Koch brothers see someone like Trump as extremely destructive to their game plan.

Maybe — just maybe — the Kochs have decided that Trump can manage the money side of things on his own. Perhaps they want to give monry to people who have more need of assistance.

...they want a contest for the Republican nomination. That is a good thing.
Competition is good, folks....let’s not coronate anyone right now.

Trump already tweeted about it. Said something like he likes them but doesn't need their money. Check out this photo. Look at the size of his head

I really like the Koch Brothers (members of my P.B. Club), but I don't want their money or anything else from them. Cannot influence Trump!

Trump doesn’t owe favors. That is Yuge. It must be tough for the Kochs to realize they can’t own the candidate who is leading by a good margin.

Gee Kenny Vogel an actual former Soros employee and now subcontractor at Leftico has a new smear angle.

It is LIBRE, a Hispanic group involved with the Koch Bros., who are opposed to Trump. They are the ones calling the shots on his exclusion.

Yet another hit piece from the Democratic Party shills and left wing dopes of Politico? How can Trump be denied access to the Koch brothers major donors when Trump is not seeking money from anybody?
Also how are the Koch brothers suddenly the good guys when Politico, the Democrats, Harry Reid etc have spent the last 6 years making the Koch brothers out to be the devil incarnate?

The effin Koch Brothers and their RNC minions are the reason why workers that pay 17K-20K per year in premiums (combined employer/employee)that prior to Obama/Romney care paid zero for things like having a baby or a hysterectomy or any other hospital stay now have to pay $2,000-$4,000.
This isn’t even being discussed.
It is a communist assault on the middle class.
INTOLERABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Donald don’t need no stinking Koch brothers!
Somehow he’s managed to be heard and understood by millions.
Go Trump!

So much the better for Trump and ultimately the country-- no one can smear him with their Reid-like Koch paranoia.
To: hinckley buzzard
That’s right. And, you know it drives people like Rove crazy. Trump will never owe him a dime. He just can’t be bought.
