FULL TITLE: Koch Brothers Announce Plans to Intervene in GOP Primaries in Support of RINO, Open Border, “Free Trade” Republicans

The Koch Brothers network announced they will intervene in GOP primaries in support of RINO hacks and open borders Republicans.

The Kochs are not happy with the direction of the country under President Trump. They want Paul Ryan-like Republicans who can push trade policies that wipe out the US middle class.

The Washington Examiner reported:

"The Koch political network for the first time plans to intervene in GOP primaries as part of a deliberate 2020 strategy to reverse years of essentially rubber-stamping the Republican Party in general elections.

Disappointed with Republicans in Congress and occasionally at odds with President Trump, the coalition of political groups overseen by Charles Koch has been re-evaluating its engagement in federal campaigns. Playing in GOP primaries to elect more like-minded Republicans to the House and Senate is key tactical adjustment the network has agreed to, with a top Koch official confirming that incumbents could be targeted for defeat.

“We think that if we’re going to be more selective, you know, raise the bar before getting involved, that it makes sense, therefore, to do more primaries,” Tim Phillips, who runs Americans for Prosperity, the Koch grassroots arm, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday while making the rounds at the Conservative Political Action Conference. The Washington Examiner is a CPAC media sponsor.

” because they’re scared of Populism.”

I can recall Limbaugh and Mark Levin both squawking that same fear of Trump’s populism. Makes you wonder if they are tight with the Koch brothers.

Koch brothers are libertarians. They love those porous borders. Illegals don’t crowd into their neighborhood.

Bernie’s politics are disasterous. But he’s far from the worst , I think, in the corruption and graft department. At least, insofar as I’ve heard. Pelousy and HilLIARy run rings around him, imho

Where the Koch’s are successful, conservatives should just vote for the RINO’s Democrat opponent - because there is no substantial difference

I love having a president who doesn’t need sellout RINO money.

The open-borders Kochs are every bit as Republican as OCA, Cindy Sheehan, and Bill Ayers.

They should have NO say in OUR party!

Just last year, 45 incumbent Republicans "retired" when they realized that they were not going to win, even though incumbents win 95% of the time... because they saw that Right-wing voters are no longer falling for the Establishment nonsense.

Hey, Koch boys... Jeb had $150 million, got 2.8% in Iowa, had to ask the crowd to applaud in NH (where he did get 11%), and then tapped out after hitting 7.8% in the SC Primary. You might want to take notes here.

Koch Industries, Inc. /koʊk/ is an American multinational corporation based in Wichita, Kansas. Its subsidiaries are involved in the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizers, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, ranching, finance, commodities trading, and investing. Koch owns Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Fertilizer, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle Company, and Guardian Industries. The firm employs 120,000 people in 60 countries, with about half of its business in the United States.[1][2] The company is the largest landowner in the Athabasca oil sands.[4] The company is the second largest privately held company in the United States after Cargill, with annual revenue of $115 billion.[5][6][7][8] In 2007, it was ranked as the largest privately held company.[9] If Koch Industries had been a public company in 2013, it would have ranked 17th in the Fortune 500.[10] The company was founded by its namesake, Fred C. Koch, in 1940 after he developed an innovative crude oil refining process.[11] Fred C. Koch died in 1967 and his majority interest in the company was split amongst his four sons. In June 1983, after a bitter legal and boardroom battle, the stakes of Frederick R. Koch and William "Bill" Koch were bought out for $1.1 billion and Charles Koch and David Koch became majority owners in the company.[12] Charles and David Koch each own 42% of the company; trusts for the benefit of Elaine Tettemer Marshall, the daughter in-law of J. Howard Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith, and her children, Preston Marshall and E. Pierce Marshall Jr., own 16% of the company.[3][13] The company has used its freedom from the pressures of public markets to make long-term bets, and Charles Koch has stated that the company would go public "over my dead body".[14][15]

There is one lesser known Koch relative who actually held a fundraiser for candidate Donald Trump in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, at the Koch relative’s summer estate, in the summer of 2016.

I don’t recall the first name of this Koch relative.

The better known Koch traitors can go pound their tar sands.

Wait until these two dildoes wake up the morning after the election and find out they elected a mob of Socialists who want 70% of every dollar they have. Then they’ll really have something to laugh about.

Drive the Koch brother nuts by calling them the Cock Brothers rather than the Coke Brothers.

I used to call them the Krotch Bros.
