KOCH: CLINTON MAYBE BETTER THAN GOP GOONS

KOCH: CLINTON MAYBE BETTER THAN GOP GOONS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 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.”

Cool. Hillary appeals to the Koch's. They are willing to believe her rhetoric is different than her actions.

I'm not certain you can call her a "moderate Republican," either, except by the standards of today's Looney Tunes Republicans. She's to the right of much of the Republican party a generation ago.

I'm sure they're laughing their asses off at all the gullible people fooled by the letter (D).
