"Good ole boy cash"? Emulating Sarah Palin after she walked away from conservatism isn't a bright move on your part.

David Koch had pledged to bankroll Gary Johnson's campaign back in May. Besides they are Libertarians.

Like many of Trump's tweets, I'm calling a steamy, heap of manure on this claim. Trump. The only thing big about Trump is his ego. This is Trump stoking his ego. I would bet my career and every penny I have that he didn't turn them down, that the roles were likely reversed and they turned him down.

I don't understand. Is that something SP said?

The Kochs give money to whoever they can influence.

Why does Trump need them? He has plenty of his own money. It makes more sense that they want an insider relationship with the potential POTUS than Trump running to them.

Can you name anyone in the field for POTUS that doesn't have an ego?

You don't know anything - particularly - about Trump or his finances unless he releases his tax returns. Every party should know where their nominee puts his money.

His May campaign finance filing showed he had just 1.4 million cash on hand. He doesn't have "plenty," else he wouldn't have stepped up his donation emails and events.

Also, if you believe Trump's tweet, then you're calling Koch brothers, their aides, Stanley Hubbard, Ray Washburn, Doug Deason and James Davis liars.

Hubbard, Washburn, Deason and Davis are donors to TRUMP. They were part of a billionaire coalition to try to get Kochs and Trump to meet. Per Hubbard and Washburn, Koch's turned Trump down. Deason and Davis knew of the effort.

Trump has lied a ton during this campaign. Without evidence, I wouldn't believe his claim for a minute.

I heard they're backing Hitlery now, although Charles has denied it, they've pulled financial support for people who campaign for Trump.
