Because they are confident they can buy Hillary the same way they buy Republicans...should anyone be surprised? Only those not paying attention.

Whether she'd accept any "contributions" from Koch has an obvious answer.

(28,762 posts)7. Wow Hillary has an endorsement from Charles Koch. . How proud she
must be.
think
(11,641 posts)8. And top neocon Robert Kagan has expressed his preference for Hillary if Trump or Cruz
are the GOP nominee.
Kagan was a cofounder of PNAC.

as well as any one else's money.
Wonderful.

It's not like she's fooling anyone.....
