The influential network associated with billionaire Charles Koch will throw its money and influence behind former South Caroline Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary, the group announced Tuesday.
The decision could dramatically reshape the Republican field – roughly seven weeks before the Iowa caucuses – as Americans for Prosperity Action deploys its vast resources and standing army of conservative activists on behalf of the former South Carolina governor. The endorsement marks the latest sign that powerful Republican donors are coalescing behind the candidacy of the former US ambassador to the United Nations. She has seen prominent figures join her campaign in recent weeks, particularly after

Great idea, but wouldn’t you rather use my toilet?

She will have Mitt Romney's support!
Still thinking about that article where Romney said he could support any candidate other than Trump and Ramaswamy. Basically, Romney is saying the big money that controls Washington already has control of all the other candidates. That big money includes the Koch boys.

I don't dislike Haley, but have a feeling she may be like the Bush family once elected. " always wanting to compromise with dems ".

My fathers mother's maiden name was Koch, they pronounced it Cook.

Money will not cause me to vote for anyone but Trump.
I vote for the welfare of America, and Trump is the only hope we have.

The Koch brothers don’t have influence. They just have money. Haley is an obvious RINO who would be bought and paid for. No.

An act roughly equivalent to picking Vassar to win the national championship in college football. Even harder because they don't have a team.

It doesn't matter how much money is thrown at any given candidate; it'll be a wasted effort. Donald Trump will be President again. Cased closed.

More nitwitery from the oligarchs. Haley is Bush41 in a skirt. She is a proven liar. Besides anyone that's paying attention knows Trump won the nomination several months ago. It will be confirmed on or by Super Tuesday. Yes, it's time for a new chapter, but the voters want Trump and his record as President qualifies him for a second term. Unlike Haley, DeSantis has an outstanding record as governor, but this is not his time and Florida voters want Trump for President and want him to stay as their governor. It's time to recognize the nomination is settled and move into the general election campaign, starting with ballot security.

Don't trust Nikki. She's part of the Military Industrial Complex. She's never seen a war she doesn't like. And she's a backstabber. And a Rino.

They are smart. Know how to handle billions of dollars. Trump’s hold on the rank and file is absolute. He is well ahead of all other candidates put together. What do the Koch brothers know that we don’t.

The Bushies are all pushing Nikki. I see it all the time right here in the Panhandle. The defense contractors are all in and that tells me everything I need to know. Money means more than any “conservative” policies they know are good for Texas and the USA.

the Koch brothers are influential when supporting a non-Trump candidate, but will return to their former position as far right wingers in the future.
