After shunning the GOP for decades, Charles and David Koch tried to take it over. And then the Donald came to town…
The
Republican Party’s ongoing civil war involves lots of fireworks and
sub-plots, but the overarching fight is between two visions and three
billionaires.
Charles and David Koch are investing hundreds of millions
of dollars to take over the GOP and push America towards
libertarianism. Donald Trump joined the Republican Party to run for
president and push the country in the opposite direction, toward
populist nationalism.
Tragically, the Koch brothers’ mistakes are steadily handing victory to the Donald.
Many
voters might be surprised to learn that the men are so different. After
all, they bear some similarities. They inherited wealth, extended their
dads’ businesses, and became three of the richest people in the world.
They treat each other politely; David and Donald, for instance, have
socialized together in Florida. And of course, all three are trying to
shape the Republican Party’s future.
