Are the Koch Brothers Building a New Party?

“The Koch brothers and their allies are pumping tens of millions of dollars into a data company that’s developing detailed, state-of-the-art profiles of 250 million Americans, giving the brothers’ political operation all the earmarks of a national party,” Politico reports.

“The Koch network also has developed in-house expertise in polling, message-testing, fact-checking, advertising, media buying, dial groups and donor maintenance. Add mastery of election law, a corporate-minded aggressiveness and years of patient experimentation – plus seemingly limitless cash — and the Koch operation actually exceeds the RNC’s data operation in many important respects.”
