Republican donor Charles Koch said he could not back Trump or Cruz

He called them 'terrible role models' and said he was sick of their bickering

Koch added that he was against Cruz's ISIS policy and Trump's Muslim ban

Said Trump's vow to register Muslims was 'reminiscent of Nazi Germany'

Multi-billionaire said it's 'possible' that Clinton could be a better president

Multi-billionaire kingmaker Charles Koch has trashed the Republican presidential field and believes Hillary Clinton might make a better president that any of the GOP candidates.

Branding the remaining Republican candidates 'terrible role models', the party donor said a Clinton presidency could be better for the GOP than a Donald Trump or Ted Cruz victory.

In a revealing interview with ABC News, Koch said it was 'possible' that Clinton would be better alternative than anything the Republicans offer.

Hey Koch, how about letting us ‘lower classes’ live the way we want to live instead of trying to become the dictator over us?

The real “king makers” are those who are the most in number that go to the rallies.

“....it’s ‘possible’ that Clinton could be a better president....”

This is from one of the Koch brothers that had been giving Harry Reid such fits just a few months ago?

The Koch brothers have been living rent-free in the heads of the liberal politicians, and particularly Democrat liberals. for years, and they were the ones that the Democrats railed against when it came to “big money” in politics. Never mind that they contributed only a pittance as compared to either George Soros or Mike Bloomberg, and it was often in direct opposition to the positions espoused by either.

When the right tool to accomplish your task is not at hand, you improvise. Something could be accomplished, using The Donald, or Ted Cruz or whoever, but nothing beneficial could be achieved if anyone was to depend on Herself to enact even a delineated and highly specific agenda.

Herself could screw up a one-car funeral. Wrong guest of honor and wrong cemetery.

I wonder exactly what about Cruz’s ISIS policy Koch disagrees with. Killing them?

Betcha Trump has some real dirt on the Koch brothers that he can use if he feels it’s necessary. I love it that if someone hits him, he hits back...hard.

Charles Koch is a libertarian, so he supports small government, an isolationist foreign policy, and open borders. It’s no surprise that he doesn’t like Trump.

Nothing exemplifies the degradation of FR more perfectly than the fact that it took until post #27 for someone to point out that the Kochs are libertarians, whose practical side makes them lean GOP. They are not remotely GOP-E.

The Kochs could buy and sell Trump many times over.

"Multi-billionaire said it's 'possible' that Clinton could be a better president"

It's not 'clear' how an un-indicted felon would be a better president than the Republicans, or even the other Democrat candidates, for that matter.

Well, libertarians regularly have odd opinions and do odd things. Kochs are social liberals after all.

Also, Wall Street does well under Dems, and the Kochs may be transitioning to financial services (where they already have been) rather than oil and chemicals.

This has been the most transformative election in our history. I will spend this afternoon exploring just that.

I was just at the grocery store and saw Rafael Cruz in a photo with Lee Harvey Oswald days before the assassination.

I looked it up online and found this.

What do you make of it? It doesn’t feel like propaganda to me.

It's probably not and it explains why Cruz got into the elite schools he did. The Bush family practically owned the CIA for years and Cruz's father was probably on their payroll and helped young Ted along the way.

He more than likely fled the country to avoid having the CIA’s involvement in “fair play for Cuba” to come out. It's still a huge stretch to attach him to JFK assassination.

It doesn’t appear to be a stretch to link him to Lee Harvey Oswald days before the assassination, though.

Dallas was CIA spook GW Bush’s backyard in those days, too.
