and I respect everything he has done for the left, especially fighting dirty in the trenches, but I'm not sure if he has the
staff capable of taking up the fight with the Koch brothers.

To bring the Koch brothers down you're going to need a team of absolute loyalty from your staff and I'm not sure if those
guys are willing to put up with that and most importantly cooperation from your peers.

The Koch brothers are like the octopus, having their tentacles in all levels of government and organization, but truth be told
I'm glad he is on the case.

Just my 2cents.
