Koch strategists warn donors of daunting electoral landscape for GOP

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Senior strategists for the network of conservative groups funded by billionaire businessmen Charles and David Koch warned donors on Monday about the “daunting” political landscape Republicans face as they seek to maintain majorities in the House and Senate.

In a private presentation given to the hundreds of six-figure donors gathered at an exclusive resort in the California desert, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) CEO Emily Seidel said the network has “never faced a challenge like this one.”

“These elections are going to be brutally tough,” Seidel said.

Democrats need to flip 24 seats to reclaim a majority in the House. The GOP’s efforts to protect their majority has been complicated by 16 lawmaker retirements. Generic ballot polling shows Democrats with a double-digit lead in the House.

Maybe the Koch bros. should spend their money on hookers and blow instead. It would cost them less and they'd have more fun.



Okay I'm only being semi sarcastic.

pass to corrupt the body politic with impunity. Why shouldn't there be targeted campaigns of boycotts of Koch companies ?
