I mean, the content of what he said is true, but...wow.

I guess it makes sense that he prefers her to Trump, though.  She's the safer choice, and he knows she wouldn't try to take the hammer to Wall Street, or power elites in general.  Trump may wish to replace the current politburo with his own.

If HRC is smart she'd publicly reject him and his money.

Did you know David Koch was the VP on the libertarian ticket in 1980?

#KochsforHillary - They will probably try to buy Senate & Congress spots & get a pro-GOP strong lobby leaving Clinton ( a neo-liberal) with little leverage

He's not going to give her any money lol. He's going to ignore the Presidential race and spend all his money on the Congress.

Yes. And besides, Hillary and the Clinton Foundation don't know how to reject big money.

Wasn't he a boogeyman the Dems used against the GOP in 2014? Politics changes too rapidly...

I wonder if he did that on purpose. He does know that he is the left's boogeyman, so saying that would probably make idiots think. That's my conspiratorial interpretation of it.

Otherwise, I guess looking at his choices (Trump or Cruz), it's a little easier to understand.

More reason to vote for TRUMP, or preferably Sanders.

Makes me glad I voted for Sanders, unless this is a trap.

The only person he could possibly help with this is Sanders, and there is no reason he would want to do that.

But still, this seems like a stupid thing for him to say.

Doesn't discourage me. Clinton isn't that stupid to take Koch money. If anything, this means the Kochs will not be funneling money to the republican nominee, which IS a GOOD thing.

This is a clear sign that the #NeverTrump folks will probably (A) not endorse Trump and (B) quietly vote for Clinton in the privacy of the voting booth.

Sure there is. If it could even slightly help Sanders get closer to the nomination, why not? Republicans believe Sanders would be easier to beat, which is why some of them were putting out ads that were intended to help him.

This little pseudo-endorsement has already riled up Bernie supporters like one would imagine. Of course, they are always waiting around for an excuse to insult / slander Hillary, so it's not unexpected.

The DLC didn't decline heavy support from Koch Industries.

Most GOP pundits have already conceded the Senate SCOTUS and prez will go Dem. They are best to spend their time and effort on the House

I must have missed something. What are you reading/viewing that indicates most GOP pundits are conceding these positions?
