10. The Kochs?

The Koch's win-loss column stinks.

The Kochs aren't the golden ticket, if anything they help to create questionability in a candidate.

A year ago Clinton's money was supposed to dominate Sanders due to a lack of PAC.

Here we are now.... Sanders has gained steam (or appears to have, I wonder about its sustainability) while the Koch Bros. have stained more candidates than they have lifted.

Last week in the Financial Times one of the Koch's complained about their lack of pull among the Rep candidates and then insulted both Trump and Cruz ( that said, I think Jeb will wait out the process and provided he doesn't get caught molesting a collie will win the nomination by being the least repulsive. So, the K Bros could find a person they like.). There aren't candidates for POTUS who want their wagon hitched to the K-Bros.
