I have trouble getting into the mindset of a sincere Republican, but it seems to me that Republicans who are sick of the "political class" and "business as usual" are only going to see this as a plus for Trump, and another reason to reject the RNC and company.

The Kochs are morons and haters. The Trump campaign is too classy to get involved with their loser political organizations anyway.

I don't think it will have much of an effect either way but I especially can't imagine it would have a positive effect. Rank and file Republicans love rich people, hell, that's the reason they like Donald Trump. At his announcement, Trump mentioned that John Kasich worked for Lehman Brothers and people in the crowd cheered and Trump had to correct them that he was actually insulting Kasich by bringing that up.

Trump = socialist

That's the message the grassroots needs to hear, and it's why Trump won't be the GOP nominee, in addition to his clear mental issues.

When Trump was speculating running as an independent in 2000 he proposed a tax on the top income bracket to pay off the debt. I like his proposal to tax outsourcing.

The Kochs like people like Scott Walker because they're basically schmucks who have never been successful in business or made any serious money so they're in awe of people like the Kochs and Sheldon Adelson. Donald Trump doesn't have anything to prove, he isn't impressed by anyone's wealth but his own and no one can afford to buy him off. And he seems to have the "been there, done that" view of business of someone who has spent their life dealmaking, as opposed to all the Republicans who were poli sci/law school graduates, never worked anywhere besides government/nonprofit/law and think the "private sector" is some magical job-creating wonderland that is perfectly efficient and innovative and never does anything wrong or bad.

The Koch brothers have created a company with 60,000 people without the help of government. They have created non-profits and have given millions to charity. They aren't on television every two seconds.

By contrast, Donald Trump is where he is today because of the help of government. His only venture into politics was considering presidential runs in 2000 & 2012, and wasting money on having "investigators" try and find Obama's birth certificate.

Trump hates the free market. He supports the government getting involved in health care, taxing the very wealthy, and in taking people's private property. That's why the Koch's and every American who loves capitalism, loves freedom, and loves America won't be supporting Donald Trump and his treasonous presidential bid.

How is just shy of $200 million (confirmed) in tax breaks and grants "without the help of government"?

(And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Koch's manipulating the government to help themselves.)
