The behemoth Koch operation - FYI

The behemoth Koch operation — which aims to spend almost $900 million before the November elections — is now considering abandoning Trump as a nominee and focusing its resources on behalf of GOP congressional candidates.

A key element of the strategy will be a springtime wave of television ads that slam Democratic contenders and tout Republican incumbents as attuned to hometown concerns. Strategists hope the efforts will help inoculate congressional candidates against association with Trump’s incendiary remarks.

the name KOCH attached to their own name. Now that people know what the Kochtopus are up to, they need to know who not to vote for. Simply identifying them for the electorate has already killed Koch endeavors.
