It's a nightmare scenario for Republicans, but conservative billionaire Charles Koch says "it's possible" Hillary Clinton could make a better president than the remaining candidates in the GOP primary.

Koch, one of the most influential and controversial forces in Republican politics, said in an exclusive interview with ABC News to air Sunday on "This Week" that he believed Bill Clinton was a better president "in some ways" than George W. Bush.

"In other ways, I mean [Clinton] wasn't an exemplar. But as far as the growth of government, the increase in spending," Koch said. "It was 2.5 times [more] under Bush than it was under Clinton."

The joke has been on us - there is no two party system - just a uni-party run by the establishment for the establishment. Why interview this living corpse anyway? Who is he that merits an interview on such a show and on such a topic?

If you are a liberal or a conservative and are reading this and planning on voting for Hillary - wake up.

Vote Trump 2016! He scares the right people in the right ways!

This is the dangdest election I have seen in my long lifetime. Everyone’s allegiances seem to be topsy-turvy.

Charlie needs to tell that to the families of the four Americans Clinton left to die in Benghazi by the country they loved as well as all of those who were killed and will be killed as a result of her openly “sharing” intelligence information with the entire world through her own “private server.” Charlie sure isn’t very bright.

" Why interview this living corpse anyway? Who is he that merits an interview on such a show and on such a topic? "

Gotta get the party line out there for those Republican voters who are gonna march the straight and narrow in November, like the Hindenburg people back in 1933:

"Oh, we can do business with this guy. He'll make the trains run on time but we can control him, and then we can cash in on everything else."

You guys gotta admit some truths. Bill Clinton was a FUNCTIONAL Republican. Worked with the congress(had to) and compared to 43? Don’t be afraid of the truth.

ANY of the GOP candidates this year, even ¡Yeb!, would be better than the Hildabeast.

There is a vast chasm between possible and probable.

How can a Koch brother actually not see that Trump is an incredibly better option?

Trump will be much, much more like Reagan in his policies than any Clinton. He's also not got the corruption dripping off of him like the Clintons.

Koch's on cocaine.

It shows how far and wide the corruption spreads. George Carlin gave this speech I saw a few years ago and I thought he was just spouting nonsense, but he was exactly right wasn’t he.........

Charlie sure isn’t very bright.

He sure isn't. He's confusing good-old-boy centrist Bill Clinton with cold, calculating, evil Hillary Clinton. About the only thing those two have in common is a marriage license (and the casual corruption, there's that too).

Bill C. was a better president the Bush because he has a Gingrich-led Republican congress. Bush sucked because he was a NWO agent.

Koch is just another Soros. Fancies himself a master of peasants. Be nice to see him prodded down the street with a pitchfork at his fat ass.

Both party’s allegiances were always to whoever offers them the most money and power, this year we are just seeing it finally out in the open.

Trump has pulled back the curtain and exposer the den of vipers that occupies our parties leadership.

The allegiances are as they always have been, we are simply seeing inside of the kimono for the first time! Trump exposed all of this, he deserves to be our leader just for that reason alone!

These Mega Rich political donors are talking about what is best for their personal pocketbook and businesses.

They don’t give a FIG about the USA or her citizens.

I rest my case. Thank you Koch for making this obvious.

The parties have becom unmorred to America because our leaders think they are “citizens of the world” and they forgot about their base, the American citizen. Leadership in both parties needs to be removed.
