If the Koch brothers are running from the Drumpster fire that is the GOP? It doesn't say much for your party, Mike.

I don't think that I have ever seen you put a more dizzying spin on a news item. And it is not for lack of effort that your previous spins have not reached the RPMs of this one.

Hillary needs all the help she can get so why is this bad? May be Charles Koch gets an invitation to speak at the Democratic Party convention in prime time if he makes a significant financial contribution.

Doesn't bother you that Koch doesn't seem to doubt that his money would accrue a benefit to Koch Corp if given to Hillary, huh?

No spin here at all. Lots of folks here love to paint the repubs as the "party of the rich". Yet here comes Koch - and its no secret that the Koch's see spending their money on political campaigns as a business necessity - saying that he's willing to dump money on Hillary. No doubt because she's shown a willingness to take such money at an amazing pace. If this happens, I wonder how many of you - with the exception of the Bernie folks - will be screaming about Citizens United?

Politics is a game of shared interests, not shared ideology or belief.
