It seems counterintuitive now, but in their early years as activists—the 1970s—the Kochs viewed organized politics as a dead end. They sought influence by starting think tanks, research programs, scholarships. The ‘80 campaign changed that. — PolitiTweet.org

I covered the Kochs for several years. My favorite story about David Koch — it was not his favorite story — was this look at his quixotic 1980 run for Vice President, which presaged the huge political network he and Charles would go on to build. https://t.co/znz8PqGsjR — PolitiTweet.org

It was motivated in part by their hatred of the post-Watergate campaign finance laws. By joining the LP campaign, David could fund it from his own politics. Bonus: his election lawyer (IIRC, it’s been a few) was... a young John Bolton. — PolitiTweet.org
