ZitatBillionaire businessman Charles Koch said Sunday that “it’s possible” another Clinton in the White House could be better than having a Republican president.
Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries, made the comment to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl during an interview that aired on ABC’s "This Week."
Koch, his brother David and their associated groups plan to spend nearly $900 million on the 2016 elections.
The comment came after Karl asked about Bill Clinton’s presidency. Koch said Clinton was “in some ways” better than George W. Bush.
“As far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, it was 2½ times under Bush that it was under Clinton,” he said.
Karl followed up by asking whether Koch could see himself supporting Hillary Clinton.

Well I was just about to post this article and you beat me to it April! I think that might have been a first!
This election is more about who your enemies are than who your friends are. This 'enemy' surprised me!

ZitatOh, how I wish he would. I would love to see how the Dems would explain that given how they have demonized the Kochs.
There was a quote from the 70s movie "Love Story" that went something like "Love means never having to say you're sorry."
I was reminded of that quote when I read this.
"Being a Dem means never having to explain anything."
And certainly 'Being a Dem' means never having to be consistent.

I see this as highly discriminatory against white billionaires and demand an investigation immediately.
ZitatHillary Clinton responded after billionaire conservative donor Charles Koch said she might make a better president than any of the remaining Republican candidates.
"Not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote," the Democratic presidential front-runner tweeted Sunday.
The Democratic front-runner was referring to support by Koch and his brother David for voter identification laws, which Democrats argue unfairly prevent poor people, especially black voters, from voting. The Kochs also fund various efforts to combat proposals like taxing carbon emissions that supports say would help reduce global warming.

No need to flatter yourself Hillary. This was faint praise and certainly wasn't an endorsement, but let that go, it was too close.
Charles Koch only used the word 'might' .......
and so, the specter of a Uniparty power broker, pulling back the curtain peering at the stage from the shadows, is hard not to notice.

A while back in an effort to explain the unexplainable, I posted three "non-negotiables". These are the absolutes - the three things that ANY candidate (whether they be D, R, Socialist, Marxist, Communist) MUST agree to if they are to be given the ESTABLISHMENT blessing* for the office of POTUS.
*NOTE: it makes no difference what the candidate's stands are on other issues - i.e. bathrooms; pro-life; etc - as long as they toe the PARTY line on the three non-negotiables.
NON-NEGOTIABLES
1. Ye Shall Have open borders and be over-run by illegal immigrants. 2. Ye Shall Have trade policies that benefit third-world countries, to the detriment of Thee or Thy country. Thou are a beneficiary of White Privilege and Gaia/Mother Earth hath deemed it unfair. 3. Ye Shall Have socialized health care - Thou hast shown that thou cannot take care of thyself, and thou must have Gaia/Mother Earth and her Surrogates* take care of thee.
I wonder if the Koch Brothers will agree to undergo a public flogging by the esteemed Harry Reid so they can be absolved of their sins by Hillary and given the privilege to donate to her?
*Surrogates - Members of the Ruling Party (our betters)
