The only way a Klintoon might be better than a eGOP nominee
is if she had a stroke before taking office !!

“Better for who???”

Precisely when reading between the lines. All Charles Koch has to do is donate to the Clinton Crime Foundation and good things will happen for him.

Feeble attempt by Charles to get back in graces with the haters from the left.

"As far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, on restrictive regulations, it was two-and-a-half times under Bush than it was under Clinton," Koch told ABC.

Asked if it was possible another Clinton could be better than a Republican, Koch said: "It's possible."

It's also possible that it will snow in Louisiana in August but it's not awfully likely. That's hardly a ringing endorsement for Clinton.

“Possible” but not probable.

To hell with the Kochs, Soros, Gates, Welch, the Rockerfellers, Clintons, Bushes, all of them. The leadership of this country is crap.

The Kochs are liberals. More masks come off.

Koch said Bill Clinton was better than George W. Bush on issues of economic growth and government spending but did not offer a full-throated endorsement of either Clinton.

"As far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, on restrictive regulations, it was two-and-a-half times under Bush than it was under Clinton,"

On fiscal issues, Koch is half-right. "Moderate" Democrats like Clinton give us more or less the same economic policies as "moderate" Republicans like Bush.

However, Koch doesn't even know who the GOP nominee is going to be, so how has he preemptively decided that he would be as bad or worse than Hillary? Cruz is basically on board with the Koch economic program of low taxes and free markets, and so is Trump except on trade.

Most likely, for the Kochs like for most libertarians, free trade is more important a litmus test than any other issue. They'd rather have higher taxes and regulation under Clinton as long as they get no tariffs on Chinese goods than tariffs combined with an internal/national free market with Trump. That's the lunacy of some libertarians.

Better for the Cheap Labor Express.

They want to be able to keep importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.

It’ll be fun rubbing this in the faces of rabid lefty Koch-haters.

These guys want open borders, amnesty and TPP/TTIP.

First and foremost.

Almost exclusively. They would prefer to have it with a Republican so they can maintain their facade, but they'll support Hillary if she's only one left in the race to support the above.

“Washington (CNN)Oil tycoon and conservative mega-donor Charles Koch had kind words for both Bill and Hillary Clinton in an interview Sunday, saying there was an outside chance he could support her in November.”

Correction: Koch is not a conservative. In some ways he is like Trump.

I still question Trump's decision to support the Clinton's politically and financially all those years.

The Koch brothers have donated a lot to republicans, during a time period in which republicans have become much less supportive of enforcing immigration laws. Now Koch is refusing to support a republican who promises to enforce those laws. I wonder if those facts are correlated. If so, the Charles Koch rejection of Trump is one of the best endorsements ever for Donald Trump.
