Koch Network, Aiming to 'Turn the Page' on Trump, Will Play in the G.O.P. Primaries​

The donor network created by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch is preparing to get involved in the presidential primaries in 2024, with the aim of turning “the page on the past” in a thinly veiled rebuke of former President Donald J. Trump, according to an internal memo.

The network, which consists of an array of political and advocacy groups backed by hundreds of ultrawealthy conservatives, has been among the most influential forces in American politics over the past 15 years, spending nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and conservative policies in the 2020 election cycle alone. But it has never before supported candidates in presidential primaries.

The potential move against Mr. Trump could motivate donors to line up behind another prospective candidate. Thus far, only the former president has entered the race.

The memo is set to go out to the affiliated activists and donors after a weekend conference in Palm Springs, Calif., where the network’s leaders laid out their goals for the next presidential election cycle. At various sessions, they made clear they planned to get involved in primaries for various offices, and early.

They have done a helluva job fucking up American democracy. Thanks for letting all that money into politics, SCOTUS. It looks like the court was the first thing they bought.

Sure, because Mike Bloomberg's foray into national politics went so well.

I think the Koch machine has some inherent advantages though.

The big money didn’t help in 2016 and it won’t in 24. Trump will mop the floor with anyone else in the primary. Hell, our bullshitters are probably hoping for his indictment more than anyone else around here. He won’t lose the primary, and won’t win the general.

If you are a loser, the Kochs want nothing to do with you.

I hope your hot, sweating longing isn't fogging your crystal balls.

Isn’t Koch part of the Dipe Stite? If he isn’t now, just wait until he opposes The Messiah. The Faithful will not abandon the Pride of NY.

Koch is a RINO

Gropenfuhrer is currently the odds on favorite to win the 2024 election.
The republicans are afraid to resist.
The democrats don’t have a candidate and all they know how to do is regurgitate the same totally ineffective attempt to use truth as a weapon against him.

Hmm... I suspect Olsonist will be along shortly to trumpet the fact that his boy Trump overrode Obama and showed real leadership by boldly banning bump stocka.
