They are fine and dandy with a Clinton Presidency. They they know she will carry on Obama's legacy when it comes to economic policies that favor them.

Charles and David Koch, the billionaire brothers who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a conservative network to oppose Democrats, have actually done very well for themselves since President Barack Obama took office.
The Koch brothers, who believe strongly in a market-based libertarian philosophy, each had a net worth of $19 billion in 2008, the year Obama was elected to office, according to Forbes. The fortune dipped slightly in 2009 to $16 billion amid a financial crisis that was caused, in part, by the kind of limited government oversight they believe in.
But the Kochs have rebounded nicely. According to Forbes, the brothers are now worth $41 billion each, meaning their fortune has more than doubled under Obama

I believe the point that Mr. Pots is making is 'how much money did Hillary have to raise' to become the frontrunner, and more importantly what are the terms for payback. Or do you think these donors simply love Hillary and want to see her living in the WH?

She may have just lost me with this one. This is much worse than her carefully parsed response on Morning Joe. How many Pinnochios do you think the Amazon Times will give this. My guess is they'll ignore it.

You guys don't get it. Bernie started to drop in his polls right after his "Hillary is not qualified" speech last week.

+13.6 % RCP average.

No, I'm not. That article is much too easy on her and glosses over Clinton's obvious desire to mislead her audience: [Sanders] frequently says, ‘We’re a small, rural state, we have no gun laws.’ (Bullshit) and characterized her statement as "used(ing) a more refined version publicly" Than the completely false statements that she and Mook had previously made.
Sanders, since he has never held statewide office, has never been in a position to offer gun legislation. It'd like saying Clinton is responsible for the Chicago Fire.
