    With the wealth from their business, the Koch brothers helped to build a massive conservative network of donors for organizations that work to mobilize voters and sway elected officials in support of libertarian-leaning economic policies.

    The network, led by the nonprofit Americans for Prosperity, has spent more than $1 billion over the past several elections to support candidates that adhere to their free-market, small-government, libertarian ideals.

    I vehemently disagree with their politics and how they used their vast wealth to make life worse for the rest of us. However, they did support PBS programming; I recall seeing the Koch name on sponsors of one of our favorite programs, Nova.

    RIP, David Koch.

    I do not wish death on anyone, it is bad mojo.....

    .....but speaking of old white guys kicking the bucket this does bring up a demographic issue.

    I was reading an Op-Ed yesterday in which the assertion was made that Trump simply cannot win by relying on the popular vote-losing base that gave him an electoral college win in 2016. Ain't gonna work for him.

    The main reason being that his 2016 base, demographically, was so old and elderly that a lot of them are already dead, or will be dead before the November 2020 election - and secondly, that millenials and those coming of voting age are increasingly and consistently voting more liberal and Democratic.

    Trump will win in 2020.

    The elderly who pass are replaced by more seniors who will, once again, vote for our great president.

    Also one less POS to coordinate with George Soros. Just yesterday I read the Kochs have joined up with Soros on internet censorship.



    It’s the Trump Curse. Some open-borders POS announces that he won’t contribute to R’s anymore because he hates President Trump, and the next thing you know... more winning!

    Democrats hate Koch because they were envious of his wealth, because otherwise they seemed to agree on all the issues.

    That was a wishful thinking Op-Ed probably from a PHONY media source.
