I can't imagine why any American would continue to vote for a politician who is bought & paid for like Hillary Clinton. And yet here you are making argument for that. I can't imagine why there are still American's so blinded by party politics they continue to vote for this kind of corruption. Too bad the OP seems to think this is a good thing.

I for one am glad the Koch brothers can't buy a President.

BTW, I am a Democrat who won't vote for Crooked Hillary for that very reason.

But nothing about money.
So it adds nothing to the discussion.

Priceless.
One of the biggest complaints my liberal CA friends had about the GOP was "all the Koch brothers money", I don't see their decision as a bad thing for the Presidential race.

Koch announced they are not endorsing Trump citing his rhetoric about Mexicans, Muslims, opposition to free trade and smaller government.

They will focus on key Senate races for candidates who support free trade and smaller government.

This is a huge blow to the RNC.
this is perfect, it proves trump can't be bought.

What it proves is that he can't win. He's so toxic that he's driving people away that would typically always be in the R corner.

he's not really toxic, if you wade through all the people who are on hillary's 'payroll' and all the biased news organizations you can see the truth...i don't expect small minded people to be able to do that though so you're probably right that he can't win, americans aren't the smartest bunch going, hopefully they surprise me.

Of course he is.

He's managed to alienate just about everyone except his core base of old angry white men with his outlandish behavior and insults.
