NEW YORK, March 2 (Reuters) - The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not deploy their $400 million political arsenal to attack Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential primary election, according to an official from the brother's political umbrella group.
"We have no plans to get involved in the primary," said James Davis, spokesman for Freedom Partners, the Koch brothers' political umbrella group.

Airplanes killed more than 3000 people on 9/11. Trump likes Airplanes.
They’re pro-gay marriage, for one thing.
They give plenty to the Club for Growth that threatened every Republican elected official. I think they made a huge mistake with Cruz.
I’m a fervent anti-abortionist....not even for rape or incest....
But the nonsense you’re peddling is ridiculous to any thinking person.....
If you truly believe that Trump advocated Planned Parent abortions you need to do a little more research....it wouldn’t take much to expose the hypocrisy of your position....
Of course if you’re just peddling Trump hate...facts really don’t matter to you....
Osama Bin Laden supported killing 3000 Americans
Trump supported killing 50 million American babies
Are you saying Trump won ?
Trump spoke of other service.
Oh please all non Muslims will cease to exist. Don’t worry though because under sharia there will be no abortion.
What did he say about 50 million American babies ?
And why does Trump side with Hillary as a Truther ?
Good to hear. Their money is more valuable backing Trump after the primaries against Hillary.
Some one of the talking heads was opining that even this last-ditch effort to rejuvenate the Our Priniciples PAC found the going to be tougher than they anticated. Most people who have this kind of money still don’t like to throw it away on a lost cause. And would you trust Jeb!s communications director to spend your million dollar contribution?
Not good news.
They’re saving that money to donate to down-ticket candidates that will oppose Trump in congress.
I see
Because terrorist support Sharia
It is OK to kill babies
Now I understand
They really don’t need to save up.
Looks like they have seen how much money was wasted on Jeb! and don’t care to waste any of their own in fighting a movement.
NO, I think they are sandbagging and already have enough money for neg ads about Trump. Watch for some GOPe to temporarily embrace Trump because they know attacking him HELPS him. Maybe I’m crazy, IDK.
And why should they throw lots of money to try to salvage a situation created by others? They decided not to support Scott Walker or Ted Cruz early-on, perhaps because they didn’t see the point of going head-to-head with the GOPe and Jeb!.
No, you are too challenged to see I was making fun of your correlation about Trump liking abortion. You understand squat.
Maybe they will join the global socialist party to get away from the riff raff.
It might just be a lie. The SuperPac that is handling the funds they allegedly gave is designed to hide their involvement. They could publicly be saying they’re not involved but, actually, getting very involved through that superpac as planned.
Exactly. I do not trust the GOP. Suddenly today some are embracing Trump. We’re being played, IMO. They saw the nuclear bombing of Trump did not work and are getting more devious.
