Ayn Randers and have specific agendas related to removal of government "interference" in certain things... and thus they created the astroturf teabaggers ("Freedom Caucus&quot by funding their elections to do this.

GrimReaper, on the other hand, seems to be going the route of anarchy with the removal of government ("as we know it&quot period.

I think this latest showdown was more Koch vs Eddie Munster though (with GrimReaper and Drumpf sortof not caring either way, and despite Eddie being from the state in which the Kochs reside).
