Republican financier Koch says Clinton might make better president

Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, a key source of financing for conservative Republican causes along with his brother, said Democrat Hillary Clinton might make a better president than the candidates in the Republican field.

Koch, in an interview to air on Sunday on ABC's "This Week" program, said that in some respects Bill Clinton had been a better president than George W. Bush, who Koch said had increased government spending. Then when asked if Hillary Clinton would be a better president than the Republicans currently running, he said, "It's possible, it's possible."

ABC said Koch, who along brother David leads an influential political organization called Freedom Partners, has been displeased so far with the tone of the Republican presidential race, in which billionaire Donald Trump leads U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Governor John Kasich.

Asked if he could support Clinton over the Republicans, Koch responded, "We would have to believe her actions would be quite different than her rhetoric. Let me put it that way."

Even though Sanders CANNOT win at this point, you keep hope alive.
Old Chucky Koch is spending millions to defeat HRC and democrats but your gonna lick that story up.

10. DLC financier. But that's the same thing.

11. DLC financier also. Actually I can't remember now where I read it, but somewhere

I thought he had something to do with the early days of DU? Didn't a programmer or something for the DLC come along here?

Maybe not. It was late one night awhile back. But I do KNOW the DLC thing is 100% Provable, as are the Koch/Clinton close ties. If I can find that post I will be back, because it was a fascinating read actually.

13. I think this is more a statement about how horrible and scary Trump is

For anyone, including Republicans, than it is about Hillary.

But this is why either Hillary or Bernie could beat him easily. Not even a lot of strong Republicans will be willing to vote for Trump.
