>Charles and David have succeeded in rallying hundreds of other wealthy conservative families to support their strategic political operation. For years, many wealthy donors — including husbands with their wives — have gathered at swank resorts for the twice-a-year Koch seminars, where they listen to presentations about conservative politics and ideas and pledge funds.
>Available data, which we have pulled together, indicates that these meetings have grown from about 17 participants in 2003 to around 500 in early 2016. Regular attendees must now pay annual dues and shell out contributions in Koch-approved directions amounting to at least $100,000 per year.
>donors standing up to make pledges in increments of $5 million. According to estimates from journalists and tax records from the Koch operation itself, the seminars went from raising just shy of $100 million in 2008 to just under $300 million in 2014
>Koch organizations control resources too many Republican politicians need and want — and, by now, large numbers of GOP operatives are themselves alumni or close associates of the Koch network.
>There is only one likely way the clout of the Koch network could suddenly dwindle: if the GOP itself goes into a tailspin or breaks apart. The emergence of loose cannon Donald Trump as the leading contender in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries suggests the sort of disruption that can weaken the GOP host on which the Koch operation feeds.
Not just the brothers or the other orgs, but all these families.

They're afraid of what his image will do to the party, not whether or not he'll back the financial elites. These guys aren't idiots, they see Trump's ideological stock is about to tank in the general election and don't wanna be remembered as the guys who invested in that shit. All the guys jumping on Trump's dick now are going to be shit out of luck when he loses and they're forever known for supporting him.

I don't know who he paid to get my name and address, or what dumb schlub he paid to manually put postage stamps on it, but David Koch sent me something in the mail the other day that I haven't had a chance to read through because it was such trash.
It appears as though the cover sheet doesn't even have a watermark despite trying to look nice by being printed on ugly, ill-sized paper.

Not implying.
One of the Koch brothers literally used the phrase "return on investment" when talking about which candidate they'll bankroll.

>Liberals HATE the Kochs.
Salon and other sites that spread propaganda for them are writing all sorts of fanciful articles about this, claiming the Kochs have a deeply-felt ideological beliefs instead of simply being rapacious Jurassic Park creatures who will literally chew up anything and anyone in order to get more money.
They don't want people to see their people behind the curtain helping the Koch machine so they want to portray their network as being wholly right-wing in terms of ideology.
The only true ideology in politics is follow the money.

Bernie fucking ran on the premise that the Koch brothers were destroying America

most ordinary Sanders supporters wouldn't

Entertainment is prevelant everywhere in the West and since globalization almost anywhere in the world. Most people are apolitical anyway, if they start taking interest and vote, it's mostly extremly superficial and going along with trends. And tbqh it does mean a lot more for your life to what income class you belong than what party you vote for. Especially in the USA. On the other hand, a tiny minority of radical leftwingers can hijack the country, if the set the narrative and take over the institutions of civil society and mass media.

>>73323217
anime is so lame
If you really want to understand how corrupt the Democratic and Republican Party are, just look at how the RNC is now directly campaigning for Hillary.
These people are so corrupt, so purchased by corporations, so influenced by lobbyists, and so dismissive of the American people, that they'd rather support someone who is just as corrupt as them (Hillary) than risk electing someone who won't pull the establishment strings and be bought by the same people. Jeb Bush took over a hundred million dollars from people who bought him for this election. Paul Ryan is likewise owned by lobbyists and insiders. Lindsey Graham owes the people who have been shelling money to him for years. Mitt Romney needs to pay people back for all the debt he racked up with them with his failed bids.
These people are not mad at Trump for his stances (wouldn't that just mean they are mad at their voters?). They are mad because he doesn't owe their owners a hundred million dollars.
Both parties are like this. And here's a special clue: the Democratic Party would be doing the exact same thing to Bernie Sanders if he secured the DNC nomination.
It's time we clean house with all of them. Both parties. Everyone who owes the lobbyists and corporations favors and promises. Our politicians are bought and don't want anyone who isn't also bought to have any possibilities.
Audit the Fed. End Citizen's United. Corporations are not people. Get Lobbyists out of Washington. TERM LIMITS for Congress.

Does it matter?
How much did they spend on Republicans to beat Trump?
Or this is just to hurt Clinton
>>73320955
>>73321214
Does money really make a difference though?
$430 million was wasted on Trump's opponents.
>>73323677
>How much did they spend on Republicans to beat Trump?
Most didn't spend much. They've been saving up for the general.
>Or this is just to hurt Clinton
How does this possibly hurt Clinton? Her retarded base of populists aren't paying enough attention to be swayed by the news that she will open up for any "donor"
>>73323565
Simplified in picture form for you.
>>73302488
It is in the republican party's interests to fund the campaign of whoever their nominee is, whether or not he is likely to win.
For example campaigns against incumbent presidents are always more likely to lose than succeed.
But the reason you need to fund challengers who are more likely than not to lose is because if you don't and you let your party's nominee go out and get thrashed, get beaten to an embarrassing extent with no funding, then it will make your party as a whole look weak and lose status and people will be less likely to vote for you next election.
>>73323813
>$430 million was wasted on Trump's opponents.
not much when compared with what Hillary LLC is ready to spend in the general

Pour more money in advertisement?
Trump is literally fueled by MEME magic at this point
He will not hesitate to pull out ALL THE SPOOKY SKELETONS from Hillary's closet
Believe me, there are quite some.
This is what the general public will get to see later on down the road.
Trump is simply immortal right now both as a candidate, a speaker and as a charismatic leader.
The Democrats haven't been this weak since a long time.
They pushed Hillary to the front on par with their liberal female propaganda and it's all about to blow in their face

We'll just have to wait and see
>>73326092
It just feels nate silvery is all.
Love to see Koch and Soros in the same story and sentence. Liberal cucks usually only go on about the Kochs and ignore Soros
Clinton gets backing of Kock brothers, demands war with russia, calls black men super predators..and will still get the vote of "progressives"

>>73327317

I've heard a lot about Soros this Soros that but never before with a Koch connection

yes, like all the winners of the recent past who had the most money from "donations"
the unlimited pac spending is going to make things very difficult for him
Let leftists know the Koch Bros support hillary.
This is hilarious, my sister's a socialist and hates the Koch brothers with a passion only rivalled with my hatred of Soros, I can't wait to see the look on her face.
Hill-a-cunt actually is alighted to the right of center, based on her voting record in the senate. This is the main line of attack from the Sanders camp. TRUMP is actually to the left of her on trade, corporate inversions, and the carried interest tax. Coupled with being anti-illegal immigration, the American worker is better off with TRUMP.
>>73302591

That means favors in terms of contract preference and legislation. Trump will likely grant contracts to lowest competent bidders. Koch Brothers won't be able to compete.
>>73328999
Except the voter base sees Hillary as being corrupt and part of the larger establishment. Receiving aid from the Koch brothers, whom were staunch RINOs will do nothing but damage her.
The electorate has spoken, they want someone outside of Washington politics. Aligning herself with RINOs will do nothing but hurt her in the end.
>>73331895
well her people have already started to try to seduce Bush backers according to multiple sources
it has begun
they are confident that money will buy her the White House
>>73333188
Yeah it worked for Jeb so well.
>>73333676
Jeb didn't have Democrats voting for him.
The only Dems who won't back her are a small number of Sanders' diehards (as well as young people who never bother to vote).
>>73331668
anything they can ask for that will lead to more money for their empire
