What If? It's not hard to imagine Koch Bros directing Republican support to Hillary to stop Trump.

I know it was an editorial cartoon, but I've heard it mentioned in various online groups several times recently.

Goodness knows they'd be getting more for their money with a Republican lite candidate than ANY of the Republican contenders. And I'm pretty sure this would seal the deal for the Hillary coronation if Repubs listened --and when don't they listen to the High Priests of corporate bribery, I mean lobbying. Plus there's no doubt in my mind she would take their money.

What if?

She's going to make it really really easy for them to do that...

Of course, no matter when or if, the money trail would be hidden via front companies so as to make it very difficult to trace the connection.

Given what came out in the emails like the fact that she secretly lobbied hard for the Colombia Free Trade Agreement after promising unions she's fight against it. Or even when she flipped on the bankruptcy bill after getting some fat donations from banks.

Truth is, with her you don't know until you're trying to pull the knife out of your back.

but a lot of the Republican trough feeders are scared of Trump, like Big Pharma, insurance and the offshorers because they know he doesn't need them.
