April 24, 201610 yr Charles Koch: Clinton Might Make Better President Than Republican Candidates I guess they have smelled the reality that Trump is not going to be stopped as he just has too much darned VOTER support. I'm so tired of a GOP that is driven by elites that value their own opinion over that of the electorate. Opinion and policy which has proven ineffective and disastrous in practice (foreign intervention especially). The Koch brothers like Hillary's hawkish statements because they are good for business. When will people realize that these elites have NO loyalty to nation state?
April 24, 201610 yr Author Speaking of loyalty to nation state, Jeff Sessions had a very interesting quote on this subject here : Could the GOP be facing an intellectual exodus? - The Washington Post “The elites have become international and they’ve ceased to have a primary loyalty to the nation-state,” Sessions said. “Republicans and Democrats do their fundraising cycles, and they go to Manhattan and they have their cocktails and they hear the whining of some billionaire and ask him for money, and they read the Wall Street Journal, bless its heart — great organization that it is, it’s not perfect. The American people are not Darwinian. We’re not Randian, in a total, brutal survival of the fittest.”

April 24, 201610 yr IMO, the only thing worse than the Republican party bosses is the Democrat party bosses...and not by a whole lot. Both political parties don't give a you know what about the people they supposedly serve. You can hate Trump and Sanders or love them but the good thing is they have exposed how corrupt both parties are during the primary process.

Whit is so insulting, regardless of political leanings, is how cavalier the establishment is in dismissing VOTER input.
April 25, 201610 yr So, in other words, he believes Hillary will be an easier prostitute than Trump. I think he's right. She's already proven she can be bought, Trumps money makes him a tougher nut to crack.
April 25, 201610 yr Where is the gnashing of teeth from the left at the prospects of the "Koch Brothers buying another election"...
April 25, 201610 yr Where is the gnashing of teeth from the left at the prospects of the "Koch Brothers buying another election"... A fair question. As would be, "Where was the gnashing of teeth for years and years before today"?
April 25, 201610 yr Where is the gnashing of teeth from the left at the prospects of the "Koch Brothers buying another election"... Nobody is really opposed to buying elections.
