KOCH BROTHERS ENDORSE TRUMP [READ IT ALL BEFORE YOU COMMENT, PLEASE] | |
| DavidBorg Offer Upgrade  User ID: 71524633  United States03/03/2016 04:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "YOU SAY IT BEST... WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL" SOURCE: [link to government.northcrane.com]  Sharing this post after reading about the Koch Brothers granting Donald Trump safe passage in the Primary election. This may not be an "endorsement", but it sure as hell draws a contrasting line between "enemies of Trump" and "friends of Trump". It is a very passive move. They talk about zugzwang in the article. At first I didn't get it, but here's what I think this is really saying (without saying anything). Basically, we are looking at Donald Trump meeting ZERO opposition from the world's second most wealthiest political donors in the history of mankind. The Koch Brothers are "showing their hand", and that (to me) seems like a very strong and high energy kind of play. What do you think? Read everything before you comment - PLEASE. It took time to put this together, and I value any feedback you would be willing to give me. SUMMARY VIDEO (For those of you who hate reading) The Koch brothers, the most powerful conservative mega donors in the United States, will not use their $400 million political arsenal to try to block Republican front-runner Donald Trump's path to the presidential nomination, a spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday. When Trump dodged this $400,000,000 smear campaign arsenal, he avoided a grueling battle with establishment special interests that the Koch brothers are affiliated with. Koch partners and organizations were on standby - ready and willing to tear Trump's campaign to shreds during the Primary election. This has been avoided, due to Koch's public announcement that they will not be attacking Donald Trump during the Primary election. By objectively dismissing Donald Trump as an enemy, the Koch Brothers are using their undeniable influence over establishment leadership to draw a line in the sand: Side-1: Trump Is A Friend Side-2: Trump Is An Enemy Presently, the Koch Brothers have indicated that Trump is a friend. Whether or not the Koch Brothers "formally endorsed" Donald Trump is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the most prolific of political donors and world's second wealthiest privately owned business decided not to consider Donald Trump an "enemy". Let that sink in. "To put it differently, Donald Trump was given a $400-million-dollar coupon from the Koch Brothers." The decision by the billionaire industrialists is another setback to Republican establishment efforts to derail the New York real estate mogul's bid for the White House, and follows speculation the Kochs would soon launch a "Trump Intervention." "We have no plans to get involved in the primary," said James Davis, spokesman for Freedom Partners, the Koch brothers’ political umbrella group. He would not elaborate on what the brothers' strategy would be for the Nov. 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama. CONFLICTING RUMORS BETWEEN ALEX JONES AND REUTERS ZUGZWANG |

| Carnac The Magnificent User ID: 29440581 United States03/03/2016 08:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Koch brothers are pro-business, not the ultra-conservative types that only care about banning abortion, aren't they? I can see why they'd be more on the side of Trump. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55611245 Does anyone know if the Koch brothers, or trump, have acknowledged that they know each other? Trump has a lot of wealthy friends and I wonder if that includes the Koch brothers. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |

What happens if they spend big money against Trump and Trump and Bernie supporters point the identifying finger. "See! This is the big money donors buying our corrupt politicians!" Plain as fucking blue skies on a clear day. |

Actually , I did of course read the article. And my listed sources, I admit, are somewhat dated. That goes more toward my contention, that they and Sheldon are waiting it out until there are only two remaining candidates--one Dem one Repub. They were heinously burned in the last two election cycles: [link to www.cnn.com] [link to thehill.com] [link to www.thedailybeast.com] [link to www.washingtonmonthly.com] [link to www.politico.com] [link to www.politico.com] [link to www.nbcnews.com] [link to ourfuture.org (secure)] The last link is probably the most telling.

If they want to get involved better after the primary starts, this way it not so bad. Hillary's in trouble who knows how that will end. They are citizens and they also are allowed to voice an opinion just not at the expense of other citizens. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |
