After shunning the GOP for decades, Charles and David Koch tried to take it over. And then the Donald came to town… The Republican Party’s ongoing civil war involves lots of fireworks and sub-plots, but the overarching fight is between two visions and three billionaires. Charles and David Koch are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to take over the GOP and push America towards libertarianism. Donald Trump joined the Republican Party to run for President and push the country in the opposite direction, toward populist nationalism.

Hey Vag

Did you know the article disses your spank material, Trump?

On most economic issues, Donald Trump resembles the Italian media billionaire Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi filled his political career with offensive jokes about women, immigrants, Muslims, as well as false assertions about foreign affairs and hostility to the media. In his nine years running Italy, The Economist reported that he showed a “total disregard for the economic condition of his country” with results that “will haunt Italy for years to come.”

The parallels to Trump are eerie. Trump’s campaign trades regularly in false and misleading claims, including lies about immigrants, lies about vaccines, a defense of entitlement spending, and a demand for trade protectionism. Taken together, this racist, nativist, anti-science package would bring America closer to fascism than any time in its history. Incidentally, it would also cripple the U.S. budget and economy, as well as the global economy.​

That's the biggest load of horseshit I've read in a while.
If the Koch brothers were anything at all like libretarians they would have rejected out of hand the likes of Cruz and the preacher man from Arkansas. But instead they they thrive on and fund the authoritarians making up a small percentage of the Republican Party.

The articles author is a fucken idiot.

Why does everyone always talk about the Koch? Forcive habit?
They barely rank on the top 50 of political donors.

They like to talk about Koch but not anti American financial pirates like Soros who paid for Oblahblah's campaigns.
