So Trump’s representatives are doing outreach with RNC members who have bristled at the billionaire’s repeated attacks on Chairman Pribus and his complaints that the system of awarding delegates is corrupt.The Kochs, unhappy with a potential Trump nomination, have indicated tehy will focus on congressional races in order to preserve Republican majorities in the US House and Senate. They will spend over $400 million through their groups Americans for Prosperity, Concerned Veterans for America and Libre.
