The Koch political machine, which fuels the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, is declaring itself as be part of the NeverTrump effort for 2024, aiming to deny former President Donald Trump a third nomination for the White House.
The declaration, released in a recent memo to staffers and activists, never explicitly mentions Trump, but it’s abundantly clear from the tone in Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel’s message that the grassroots behemoth she leads has no plans of being a passive player in Republican politics when it comes to the White House. “Our country must move past the current political situation—we’ve got to turn the page

So, the game is afoot. It's become not-boring.

The Kochs are open borders, amnesty fanatics. No wonder they won't support Trump.

1. Does anyone remember who they supported in 2020? Or 2016?
2. Another oligarch who only supports those who kiss their rings.
3. Americans for prosperity. We are in a full blown economic war with China and global socialists, including Koch supporting swamp republicans, and in the face of that, a Trump built economy, designed without the benefit of government bureaucracies, provided more prosperity, and particularly prosperity for lower wage earners black brown white, than anyone before him.
Other than occasionally busting a Union, the Koch’s have never found a labor force that couldn’t be downsized or outsourced.
But maybe Joy Behar will say nice things about the Koch brothers.

The Koch organization never has been Trump. So what's new about this? Nothing.

The people that believe that it's their right to rule the world , hate us. They have no qualms about our demise because to them we are disposable.

Wonder what can drive the 2024 MAGA “machine”? Ordinary American voters/patriots reading that headline. Infuriating.
Americans don’t do “machines”...

Thanks for letting us know in advance. People on here said that DeSantis was backed by establishment Pubs. Tell me again why everyday people shouldn't support Trump, I'll wait.

The Koch brothers are not "Conservative" by any definition. They are self-dealing, narcissistic, soi dissant "libertarians," which means they are in the game for what they can personally get out of it and the devil take the hindmost. They fund politicians who do their dirty work in the name of "capitalism" and "free trade," by which they mean to demean everything and everyone who stands in the way of their profit. They are the real life, unfunny version of Uncle Scrooge, sitting on his mountain of gold in the basement of his mansion. May they suffer as they have brought suffering to others and may God have mercy on their souls.

Is it OK to yawn? From the Wayback Machiine:
“GOP Candidate Scott Walker's Departure Deals Blow To Koch Brothers' 2016 Hopes, Whom Will Koch Brothers Support Now?”
While the Kochs excluded Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie from their most recent conference -- hosted by their affiliated organization, Freedom Partners -- they did invite former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina to the event. At the conference, the candidates met privately with donors and held their own question-and-answer sessions on stage, Politico reported
Some of those latter candidates have longstanding relationships with the Kochs.

One Koch Bro is deader than a doornail… The one who is left is 87 and putting out the same photos of himself that were published in 2016 or earlier. Our country has managed through Boss Tweed and Boss Pendergast and heaven knows how many other power brokers. That’s what was so refreshing about President Trump.

DeSantis is the only person who has a shot at defeating Trump in the primary. If he stays out of the next Presidential race or agrees to be his VP (unlikely, IMHO), the Koch brothers will be wasting their money. Which is fine by me.
