Thank you for mentioning Koch money. When I heard that Hayley was running with Koch money in Iowa, my first thought was of learning from “Starving the Beast” that Iowa was the first public university attacked with Koch money. If she knows, she is DEFINITELY no fit to be president. Is everyone aware that Koch Industries, having refused to leave, is still working away in Russia.

Oh yes they are and I believe they were the only American company not to pull out of Russia. See, their daddy started that factory in Russia around 1927. They have kept it going (glass factory) along with other business ventures there. Hypocrites!

Daddy refined the oil that kept Germany and Russia's tanks rolling during WW2. The Koch kiddos had a nanny that was a full on Nazi. They embrace the Nazi platform.

Thank you for the list. We need to be aware of rogue companies.

"It is clear by now that the neocon intra-party has orchestrated the GOP primary season with a firm hand and followed a carefully crafted plan. Their last remaining problem is to make sure that Haley edges out Trump in the primaries. That is going to be tough, unless some event forces Trump to withdraw or implodes his support."
