Charles Koch: 'Possible' Clinton could be better than GOP nominee

Washington (CNN)Oil tycoon and conservative mega-donor Charles Koch had kind words for both Bill and Hillary Clinton in an interview Sunday, saying there was an outside chance he could support her in November.

"We would have to believe her actions would be quite different than her rhetoric. Let me put it that way," he said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "But on some of the Republican candidates we would -- before we could support them, we'd have to believe their actions will be quite different than the rhetoric we've heard so far."

Earlier in the interview, Koch said Bill Clinton was better than George W. Bush on issues of economic growth and government spending but did not offer a full-throated endorsement of either Clinton.

Thats the way he operates.
It says he likes to be in charge of everything.
He the real oil that keeps the Koch machine going,
David K is portrayed as more of a buffoon.
So he is a calculating, horrid man who will hopefully cease to exist soon.

It's too bad the BoB'ers would rather have their purity than to vote for Secretary Clinton and avert the tRump disaster. Are we as a country going to have to pay for the BoB'ers hissy fit? We could certainly say the Kock Brothers are smarter than the BoB'ers.

I've seen the types of comments BS'ers have hung onto claiming they were Bernie Endorsements. Several people have had to clarify their comments were not intended as endorsements...of course the BS crowd had already decided they were, so have incorporated them into platform pitches. It's kinds sad really.
