Koch, the CEO of Koch industries, made the comment to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl for an interview airing on ABC’s This Week.

I don't understand why the Left is angry with the Koch brothers. On social issues, the Kochs are on their side. I wish the brothers would spend the hundreds of millions on building conservative infrastructure the elections. Imagine what a nine figure donation would do for a place like Hillsdale College.

Roger that. I suppose just an inkling of a conservative thought and BOOM! You get classified as being NON progressive and should be dealt with appropriately. Or, in the case of libs, inappropriately.

It is possibly delusional.

The Koch’s are interested in their interests first and foremost. If Hillary will support what they need then they support Hillary. If Trump will then they support Trump. If Cruz will then they support Cruz.

Trump smokes out another traitor to our side.

We are into the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands if you count so-called conservative voters.

Is that delusional mindset of the Koch Brothers due to some genetic flaw in their DNA, or did someone slip some LSD-25 into their drinks?

“I don’t understand why the Left is angry with the Koch brothers. On social issues, the Kochs are on their side.”

It has nothing to do with Koch, it’s because the left ALWAYS NEEDS AN ENEMY...and Kock is the best pickings today from what is a thin field, since they at least gave money to Republicans. Nothing new for them.

This tells me the Kochs are a big reason we have had Obama for 8 years. Traitors!

Trump has ripped the kimono off of the establishment. You can see how ‘staunch republicans’ like the Koch’s are really just uniparty scum who would rather have marxists in control than an outsider candidate who puts the country first!

Our political system was best described by Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party in his CPAC speech in 2015.

Farage spoke of a ‘corporatist system’ that combines ‘big banks, big business and big government’. Its a system that leaves the individual and small business owner out.

It was Trump that supported Hillary, Harry, Nancy, Schumer, and Mcconnell, he is part of the uniparty.

The only statement by Koch that is correct, was;

“As far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, it was two-and-a-half times under Bush that it was under Clinton,” he said.

I just read the article. I’m not sure he said what the title implies he said.

Not much prospect on stopping her. Trump could; or some brave fellows at the FBI; or...who’d like to write this novella?

“An American politician who started out as a young hack lawyer helping to impeach a president, is elected president and soon faces impeachment due to the efforts of a young hacker in...” I dunno, Tel Aviv? Beijing? Washington?

Point is, she might go out the way she came in. At impeachment proceedings.

Please somebody go for it. I write too much already :)

They are libertarians not conservatives and the left doesn’t like the concept of individual liberty and responsibility, to them the government is everything.
Koch says in some ways things were better under Clinton than Bush. The only reason we were more fiscally conservative under Clinton was he had a republican congress that actually did their job, and we had two wars going on under Bush. Actually things started going down fiscally under Bush after he got a democrat congress. If Koch thinks Bill is an indication of how Hillary would be, he needs to stop and think about that.
