Will the Koch Bros. eventually own and run the GOP?

With the war going on between the GOP leadership and the Koch's, will the Koch's prevail and take over the party? I think the Koch's will win the battle and send the moderate republicans, if there are any, running. Then they can hand pick all the people they want in office, finance their races and own them completely. Right now they don't own every one in the party but they are trying.

merger of the Birchers and the RNC. Watch for major changes to the real hard Right after the 2016 elections. 2020 focus will be on the Gerrymandering of Blue States,and this is were the Koch's spent billions in 2010.

Does anyone in our Democratic party have the guts to tell America what these people are and what they are trying to do to our country? To our Constitution? I would have never thought there would be so many citizens in this country that are so willing to be bought and paid for by people like this. In other words, traitors to the very words they utter as they take their oath of office. This is truly a horrific time we live n now for our country.
