Charles Koch Is Getting Senior Level Republican Leaders To Turn On Trump

[PEB]

Charles Koch on Donald Trump:
“It’s either racist or it’s stereotyping,” Koch said of Trump’s comments. “It’s unacceptable, and it’s taking the country in the wrong direction.”

Charles is putting pressure on Donald Trump to play by the rules or else by getting the establishment to turn on him. First Paul Ryan, Scott Cooker and Mitch McConnell.

Scott backtrack on support of Donald Trump and Paul Ryan called Trump recent statements as racist. I still think the establishment plans on crushing Trump before the convention.

Welcoming via the immigration process intolerant bigots who believe politics should be based on religion is taking the country in the right direction?

The effort by Trump’s camp to court the Koch network represents a sharp reversal for the New York real-estate developer, who touted his ability to fund his own primary campaign and took to Twitter last August to mock five of his Republican rivals who flocked to a California seminar convened by Charles Koch and his brother David Koch.

“I wish good luck to all of the Republican candidates that traveled to California to beg for money etc. from the Koch Brothers,” Trump tweeted. “Puppets?”

Trump finding out the hard way. I think he thought Koch would get in line if he became the RNC choice. Charles is playing hardball now.

I'm interested to see if he's giving Trump a taste of his own troll medicine, and will ultimately back him once Trump wears out his knee pads, or if he'll stick to sidelines.

Getting Republicans to "turn on Trump"?



Dude just turned 70. You better bring the whole deck, a bottle of Viagra, and a lubed-up taxpayer if you're fixing to get that old boner jumping.

The leadership has always been against Trump. The oligarchry wants Hillary now that Cruz didn't pan out.

Yep. Trump's a snake and a con artist appealing to his kind.

The Koch brothers don't give a shit about racism. If any Sherdogger reading this is a student, such as at a university, taking an American politics or sociology course, then bookmark this story. You could build a paper around it. We always talk about how the elites use hot topics like racism to manipulate public perception towards their political ends. A Koch brother going on record pretending like he cares about Mexicans or Muslims is academic fucking dynamite. Use it. Free "A", especially with a 97% chance your professor is a liberal.

The oligarchy wanted Jeb Bush. When that didn't work out they wanted Scott Tucker. When they realized that never had a chance they wanted Marco Rubio.

Cruz was never the "establishment" guy. On the spectrum he is more "establishment" than Trump, but nobody likes Cruz. Almost everyone in the RNC and his own party hates him.

You are right here. When trump said he would build a wall, they did not admonish him. When trump said he would propose a temporary Muslim ban, they did not strike him down. When trump said the IRS audits him annually due to his religion, they said nothing.

Now that he says a judge could be biased because of his Mexican heritage, he's gone too far?

This is an odd cycle.

I think his confusion comes from Cruz having so much money come in through super PACS and many of the right wing personalities used to blow him. Rush, Alex Jones and Glen Beck used to celebrate Cruz like he was the second coming. I agree that Jeb was their boy though. It's not really disputable.

Yea I agree with you. You went further back than I did. Yes Cruz was not the first choice and he isn't liked.

Koch probably realized it would be easier to buy Hillary

Trump is 70 too. Only reason he probably hasn't dumped the current wife is because he can't keep up with a younger one.

No way, man.

The Hillary supporting neoliberals have made it clear that the GOP fully supports Trump and is eager to see him in the Oval Office so that they can begin implementing their conservative agenda and moving the country hard right.

(Pssssst... The republican party is only pretending to be in bed-shitting mode over the thought of a Trump presidency to fool the democrats.)

Seems pretty obviously true, no? Ryan and McConnell are trying to distance themselves from Trump's racist appeals but they support his agenda.

Meanwhile, and not altogether coincidentally, Trump let on that his loud, repeated promises to fund his own campaign were no longer operative. He would instead rely on the party’s financial apparatus, even the parts of it he had once singled out by name as insidious string-pullers. “Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet,” Trump tweeted in October. “I agree!” By early May, Adelson had endorsed Trump, and by the end of the month he was promising to spend millions of dollars to get him elected. In February, Trump had ridiculed Jeb Bush as a helpless pawn of his donor Woody Johnson, the pharmaceutical mogul. Less than ten weeks later, he had enlisted Johnson as one of his top fundraisers. Trump staffed his campaign up and down with lobbyists, many of them recruited by Manafort, who is also a lobbyist.

And last week, Trump met with party moneymen and their appointed pseudo-economist representatives. “Lobbyists and business leaders, including oil billionaire and Trump ally Harold Hamm, gathered June 9 at the presumptive Republican nominee’s New York headquarters to present their policy wish lists,” Lynnley Browning reports. On hand was the Heritage Foundation’s Stephen Moore, stalwart advocate of supply-side economics and noted crank. The problem before the group was the size of Trump’s tax plan. Irresponsibly gargantuan, regressive tax cuts are standard-issue policy for the Republican Party. The concern is that Trump’s plan would hemorrhage so many trillions of dollars of revenue it could trigger a fiscal crisis and could not be passed by Congress.

Moore, along with fellow supply-side zealots Lawrence Kudlow and Arthur Laffer, has proposed revisions. Their idea is to save revenue by cutting out the parts of Trump’s tax cut that benefit middle-class earners, and focus the money on where they believe it’s most needed: on the top tax rates. These changes would be in keeping with the conviction among orthodox Republicans that the tax rate on the richest earners is the key determinate of economic growth.

But, sure, a true progressive is rooting for huge, regressive tax cuts and climate-change denial because it will make things so shitty for the poor that people will have to become socialists, just as Reagan's presidency did. The only way to demonstrate that you really care about progressivism is to constantly push for right-wingers to have more power and to implement their policy preferences.
