Koch network amasses forces for Senate Republicans, but voters want to talk Trump

The Koch brothers have essentially supplanted the Republican party when it comes to the ground work of identifying and turning out their voters. They've created a massive and sophisticated data system, i360, and have a deal in place with the Republican National Committee to use it, and where the Kochs want to use it this cycle is on Senate races, because of course they do. They want to pretend Trump doesn't exist.

and down-ballot candidates, but has done very little and is threatening to abandon the RNC altogether. It occurred to me that this would result in further loss of power of the badly weakened conservative party, one of our nation's two, and empowerment of the Koch's ultraconservative anti-government machine, already believed by some to rival the GOP in power.
