Donald Trump Snubbed By Koch Brothers | msnbc

Here's the thing:  Trump gets a gold star for pointing out that so many politicians are in the pocket of the big, entitled, rich 1%.  And it's true that he is NOT in the pocket of these kinds of obscenely wealthy people.  Because you can't be IN YOUR OWN JACKET POCKET.  He isn't answerable to the people that are the PROBLEM, he IS one of the people who are the problem.  And he thinks like they do and makes no bones about being one of them.  He's refreshingly blunt about it, but I still don't think this changes the fact he's one of the bad guys.

1:48 "grass-roots gatherings put on by groups in the Koch's network"
Did he just say that?

In a practical and smart moves for people who got mutual understandings, some don't need public media exposures and don't indulge "old" camera flashbulbs.
Media consists of allies and competitors, it is soak with multi-faceted activities - it supports anything that supports itself.
Think as if you are smart enough to outsmart the smartest. .

They talk about the "shadow party" like it's a great thing...It's scary! More proof that the other candidates will rule for the powerful not for us the people! After this how can I in good conscience vote for any of the other Republican candidates? I'm glad Trump is not part of this! TRUMP 2016!

Free trade 😂
