Posted on July 29, 2015 by DCWhispers
Apparently the Koch brothers and their high-tech political machine that stretches across nearly every corner of the United States have decided Donald Trump is not the right candidate to represent their favored version of the GOP…
(ABOVE: David Koch and Donald Trump are said to have been on “friendly” terms for many years. That is likely to change given Koch’s apparent inclinations to make certain Mr. Trump does not win the Republican nomination for president.)
The repudiation by the Kochs to the Trump campaign has intensified in correlation to Donald Trump’s rise in the national polls. This repudiation includes a refusal to sell any technological support to the Trump campaign, and a denial of a request by Trump operatives to have their candidate speak at an upcoming Americans for Prosperity summit next month.
It appears the Koch machine intends to constrict Trump’s ability to build and then maintain a national campaign apparatus most believe to be essential to his securing the GOP nomination.
A recent Politico report suggests the Koch network of political donors is planning to spend nearly $900 million dollars during the 2016 election cycle, a figure that would prove daunting even to a man of Donald Trump’s own substantial checkbook. This same Politico article outlined the Koch brothers’ favored candidates to be Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, and somewhat interesting, Ted Cruz. Insiders have already concluded Jeb Bush to be the Koch brothers’ #1 pick to win the GOP nomination.
If it does come down to a war of money, it should be noted the Koch brothers have a reported combined net worth of over $80 billion – a number far greater than Donald Trump’s.
It appears Mr. Trump’s hopes of becoming the next GOP candidate for President of the United States faces yet another daunting challenge. While Trump currently enjoys the top spot in the polls, Jeb Bush remains the favored choice of the GOP’s greatest kingmakers.
(NOTE: Word is Rand Paul was invited to the upcoming Koch brothers-sponsored Americans for Prosperity summit but declined. It appears Senator Paul wants to distance himself from the Republican power brokers.)
