Just this morning, Charles Koch said it’s still “possible” that he will endorse in the GOP presidential primary. And according to a new report from NBC, Carly Fiorina is still on the short list to win the Koch shadow primary and the millions that come with it.
Fiorina made her first 2016 foray into Kochworld when she appeared alongside the Kochs other candidates at their exclusive summit of rich mega-donors at a luxury resort in August. And she’s clearly still on the Kochs’ radar with a new invitation to “reach the group’s vast network of activists” the day after the next GOP debate in Nevada.
It’s easy to see why Fiorina would get the Koch nod of approval, her business record of putting profits ahead of all else by outsourcing and firing workers, is on par with the billionaire brothers’ philosophy of putting their bottom line fist.
But it’s not just Carly the Kochs have a hook in. Whoever becomes the GOP nominee — Cruz, Rubio, Jeb or Kasich– they’ll all be beholden to the Kochs and advance their agenda that hurts the middle class.
