Trump will not be owned or guided by Koch brothers. Trump, and his son Eric, say it was their choice

[2GunTommy]

I don't have a horse in the race,but I think everyone with half a brain knows she's a shill,it'll be overlooked though and she'll be your next POTUS.

They really don't though.
They completely believe every one of her scandals is a conspiracy from the Republicans and she truly has done no wrong.

They could listen to her laughing about unethical methods she used to get a child molester off and completely shrug it off.

''my bad'' as you guys say.... I should've made it clearer that those with half a brain know she's a shill,while the others are too busy calling people racists or Nazis,to notice such ''unimportant'' facts.

she'll win with room to spare.

If you ain't got Washington insiders when you get to Washington, you ain't gonna get much accomplished.

Unless you are gonna make America great again.

LOL
It's something lots of politicians like to claim because it sounds great, but it's like saying you're gonna win the Superbowl without an NFL team.

This thread will further highlight the delusions of Trump supporters because facts don't matter to them.

Trump campaign wanting some Koch in June.

The meeting comes at the request of the Trump team, Koch said. No date has been set for the gathering, which has not been publicly disclosed before.

They met. Again, at the request of the Trump campaign.

The Koch team met last month with the Trump team at Trump aides’ request. There have been no follow-up meetings, Holden said.

Trump donors attempted to arrange a meeting between Trump and Charles Koch a few days ago. Koch's people declined.

Politico reported on Friday that top Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between Trump and Charles Koch while the candidate was in Colorado Springs on Friday for a rally, but that Koch aides had declined. Politico cited unnamed Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.

They don't even plan to go after Hillary in the context of the presidential election. They clearly want nothing to do with Trump.

The Koch network will essentially be indifferent about the outcome of the presidential race.“We have no intention to go after Donald Trump,” said Holden, who's also chairman of Freedom Partners. Nor do they plan to run anti-Hillary Clinton advertisements, he said.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...-for-meeting-with-trump-as-candidate-contends

Despite spending a shit ton in 2012 to help Romney, they aren't playing in this cycle.

Staying out of presidential politics is a shift for the network that spent $400 million in the last presidential election cycle and planned to spend as much as $300 million on politics and policy objectives in 2016.

Again, Trump campaign wanted some Koch.

Trump's tweet comes after Politico reported Friday that Trump's finance team asked for a meeting but that the request was denied by the Koch organization.

This is a classic case of Trump acting like a groupie and going after Koch, and being rejected. Now he's behaving like a bitch, and claiming he isn't a "puppet of politics" despite crawling on his knees after Koch with strings attached.

Trump has long hoped he could get in the good graces of the Koch brothers but has been unsuccessful. He chose former New Hampshire chapter head of Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, Corey Lewandowski, as his campaign manager but the Kochs have rebuffed his efforts every step of the way.

The group i360, which is said to have the best data tools in politics and is funded in part by the Kochs, gave many Republican presidential candidates access to its network in the presidential primary, but not Trump.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...-claims-he-rejected-koch-request-meet-n620286

And for those of you who are still in denial of Trump's willingness to be a puppet, here's another reminder.

When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

Something tells me that if the Loch brothers had an opportunity to own Trump they would do it.

 

[Rational Poster]

I have been waiting for a bit to see how Hilary fans will explain the Koch Bros backing her and wanting nothing to do with Trump.
As far as I'm concerned there aren't many more clear indicators of who will work for the people and who will be a bitch for the Koch Bros and Wall St in general.

How are the lefties dealing with this conundrum ?
After years of many speaking out against how corrupt the Kochs are how will any justify this ?

Do we really need any more evidence proving Hilary is and always has been a Corporate shill ?

At this point I really don't see how anyone can be voting for Hilary.

At this point if the election was held today Hillary would win.

I don't know man, it looks like it's going to be a really close race.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I don't know man, it looks like it's going to be a really close race.

Three months in politics is like a year.
And Trump is showing no sign of being a more considered candidate, in fact he's betting on his rhetoric, on blathering his way into office.

We should all pray that if he wins, he'll surround himself with people far more competent and knowledgeable than he is, and that he listens to them.

 

[2GunTommy]

Polls are dead even right now.
I think it's hard for anyone on either side to feel like they have it in the bag.

Hilary fans don't even try to defend her scandals anymore. They just stick their head in the sand and pretend she's done nothing wrong so they can feel good about putting the first woman in the White House.

There were people outside of the Democrats convention that were asked who would be better for women's rights Trump or Bill Cosby. They all chose Bill Cosby.

When asked who was more dangerous Trump or ISIS, they all answered ISIS.

Nationals polls might be a bit close, but they're also useless.

Winning states matter and winning certain states matter more than others.

Hillary is polling well in PA, Ohio, and Iowa.. only doing poorly in Florida out of the major battleground states.

I'll agree with this to a certain degree.
I mean choosing a successful cabinet is a huge part of being a good President. Knowing how to delegate and steer the ship.

If he chooses to go it alone and think he always knows best, that would be huge mistake. Like really huge.

That's just one of the reasons why his Presidency would be a far riskier thing than the Clinternative. All signs indicate he'd make the huge mistake you describe.

And his unfitness for office shows in the number of his own Party that rebuke him and wouldn't torpedo their political careers by getting aboard the Trump train to nowhere. The only people who'd be willing to take that risk are people who can't lose their base anyways.

Clinton has her faults but being unwilling to listen to wise counsel isn't one of them.

Leftists have prove they don't care about Clinton's scandals, it's all a non story to them. As long as they can laugh at Trump's expense, they will welcome open borders, open bans on guns, and you use corporate media to silence the 1st amendment.


as long as the sentence ends in lol @ Trump, they don't care about the direction the country is going because CNN is telling them, there is nothing to see here

Respect for putting so much into the post.

It's Trump's talk on China, and his plain speak on putting American economic interest first. That isn't the globalist agenda. It's why he does not have Koch support, and will not raise as many dirty dollars as Hillary. A lot of what Trump has said regarding trade, and many other things, are common sense truth.. It is supposed to be politicians job, on behalf of the interests of the very wealthy, to hide that common sense truth.

Trump is not losing not getting Koch support because of his trade stances. At all.

 

[ucunc156]

Is koch actually backing clinton as some posters ITT are saying? From everything I've seen, they aren't helping trump and are focusing solely on local elections supporting R candidates in general? And for you delusional Trump fans saying Koch not backing trump means he has the best interest of the people in his mind, I take it that means you're voting D down ballot since those will typically be the people the Koch's are against?

 

[cooks1]

Refusing oligarch money is good.

Now, if only the person refusing to take the oligarchs money was not himself a completely batshit crazy, racist, sexist, narcissistic, unethical con man, completely devoid of ANY of the skills needed to run the nation.

 

[Gervinho]

I think its more likely they find him too unpredictable to deal with. People who buy politicians dont just buy anyone. They dont want to get involved with someone they consider unstable and would bring embarrassment to them. Trump is on the news every day either dissing someone or having beef with someone. He's just out of control.

Trump says a lot of stupid shit, but he also says a lot of the right things. However, his actions contradict his words. He's going to bring jobs back to America, but he sells a shit ton of products that are made overseas.

Harvard Trade and Investment Professor Robert Lawrence did a deep dive on the Trump-branded merchandise advertised on Trump.com and found that products made in the U.S. are the exception and not the rule.

Most of the Trump neckties, shirts and suits are made in China, Bangladesh, or simply say “imported.” And virtually all of his daughter Ivanka Trump’s extensive clothing and accessory line for women is made outside the U.S., with many items manufactured in China.

I was pointing out that Trump is willing to whore himself out to the Koch's. Just like he whored himself to Kasich. He whored himself to Paul Singer, another GOP donor who told him to fuck off. After criticizing Singer, Trump claimed he didn't know who he was. Sound familiar?

"I don't know who Paul Singer is," Trump said Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Trump said this even after repeatedly criticizing Singer's support for immigration reform this week. Singer, a highly influential donor, recently revealed his supportfor Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Florida) presidential campaign.

Politico's Ben Schreckinger and Ken Vogel reported that, in addition to Singer, Trump's presidential campaign was once trying to woo casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and energy magnates Charles and David Koch. The reported outreach raised eyebrows because Trump has accused his opponents of trying to be those billionaires' "puppets."

http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-paul-singer-marco-rubio-2015-11

Here's what Paul Singer says about Trump's trade ideas.

"The most impactful of the economic policies that I recall him coming out for are these anti-trade policies," Singer said during a panel discussion at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. "And I think if he actually stuck to those policies and gets elected president, it's close to a guarantee of a global depression, widespread global depression."

Trump has pledged hefty tariffs against nations including China if they don't renegotiate trade policies he says are detrimental to U.S. interests.

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/29/gop-donor-paul-singer-says-trump-would-cause-a-depression.html

Is he correct? Who knows? It could be fear mongering. Regardless, Trump has at least proven willing to be a puppet. He is the exact thing that he and his supporters rail against.

Please don't respond with "but Hillary is corrupt" talk because I'm just going to agree with you.
