As CNN reports:
The powerful political network helmed by Charles and David Koch is ruling out running advertisements intended to hurt Hillary Clinton, another sign of their insistence on avoiding the presidential race. The Koch network has previously said they will not back Republican candidate Donald Trump, but on Saturday officials told reporters that they would not run negative Clinton spots…
Network officials outlined their plans here as 400 of their donors prepared to hear from a roster of Republican leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan is among the politicians who scored invites to one of the nation’s most sought-after political retreats at a lavish campus nestled in the Rocky Mountains…Ryan will be joined here at the summit hosted by the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce.”
“The Kochs are effectively indifferent between Trump and Clinton,” CNN writes, noting the Kochs’ strong opposition to Trump’s “America first” positions on trade and immigration.
Indeed, as both Bernie Sanders and Jeff Sessions have explained, the Koch brothers support “open borders” immigration policies that will drive down wages for American workers.

You and I generally agree, there are moneyed elites running both political parties but they ran into a glitch when Donald Trump came along.
Now they must have Hillary as President so they will focus on electing their Republican cronies like John McCain and Paul Ryan who have primary challengers in the weeks ahead.
So these rich _uckers had no problem putting themselves first to get rich, but now that they are sitting pretty, we peons have to let everybody else go first.
_UCK YOU!
(Sorry about the language, but being polite is just stupid.)
LMAO!!!
; )
BTW, you have a very dirty mind.
Trump has shown a knack for getting free public, positive Media coverage.
As if the media favors Trump.
If “advertising” = nasty vicious attacks, I guess he or she has a point.
What an idiot.
Do all these liberals flunk critical thinking skills in jr high school?
They haven’t waded into Bush, McCain, nor Romney’s candidacies? You know, those staunch well-known libertarians as the GOP standard bearer.
How do the “libertarian billionaires” square their past political actions in previous elections? I know it is their money and their decision, but don’t pull wools over our eyes, and try the high-and-mighty route.
...”Most all the billionaires seem to be big on the New World Order. They live on Elysium, or at least think they do. Their money gives them the ability to create a reality-distortion field for themselves and their families. They never have to leave it.
Eventually, they start to think it is actual reality. Who is going to tell them otherwise? Anyone says anything they don’t like, they get fired.”...
Folks need to remember that these people live in the illusion that they are Gods and that they have the right to enslave all others. They truly buy themselves a place above the laws they make for everyone else. However, the REAL God sees and knows the travails of his people in this world. He may seem to be silent right now but I believe He will make His move against those who have enslaved and suppressed the people, and when that happens it will be a surprise, such as an overwhelming disease or natural disaster which will largely effect certain areas and people, but not others. Each of us should do the best we can to love our neighbor where we are planted, we should pray fervently, support and comfort others and just watch. Everything right now is turning sharply to evil. It cannot last without disaster.
It is a mixed blessing.
If they run adds against Hitlery, the MSM will say that Trump is in bed with the GOP and not an outsider.
If they don’t run adds, Trump has to work harder to win the election, but it maintains his status as truly independent from the Republican leadership and power.
This is actually a good thing for Trump. It takes away an entire avenue of attack for the evil commie mainstream media.
No worries, Trump is self-funding. He can’t be bought by those Koch Brother losers.
Why spend money defining Hillary when everyone knows she’s crooked?
Another article http://m.wmtw.com/politics/speaker-paul-ryan-and-other-top-republicans-to-address-koch-group/40962338 says Mike Lee, Cory Gardener and Tim Scott will be joining Paul Ryan speaking at this event...interesting....
Trump has exposed a lot of faux conservatives and other establishment types who preach a much different message than what they actually do....
They are the same rinos who were undermining US.
Anyone who supports the Clintons do not support the United States.
Surprised the Koch’s aren’t in the Gary Johnson camp.
We are fortunate they are outing themselves so completely. For decades they hid behind the curtain, pulling the strings of GOP voters in deceit; playing the part of patriots with one hand and traitors and haters with the other hand. They despise America and Americans. They are demonrats.
There’s an old saying about “the enemy of my enemy” that has to do with flimsy alliances born of necessity. The left has the benefit of deep pockets soros (who doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about them but simply used them as useful tools) and many on the right looked at the resource-rich koch’s as saviors of a sort.
No one looked too deeply because - money.
I agree that we are fortunate to finally see them for what they are. The question is will people on the right pay attention or is the siren-song of money too alluring?

For people who make politics their profession, getting money will usually be the central motivation over the professed cause. They will bow down to Satan himself for a buck.
That guy at Red State - I never had any doubt he was a full blown globalist liberal yet he played the part of an insider patriot and conservative very successfully...until now.
