Just a few short weeks ago, the Kochs and the Republican party were in what one Republican operative said was an "all-out war" over who would control the party going forward. The Kochs have been systematically putting a ground force in place across the nation to build their own extremely sophisticated database, one that they would allow Republican candidates to use (excepting Trump).
This alarmed the RNC because all that valuable information was not being held by them. That and the whole thing about how "it's very dangerous and wrong to allow a group of very strong, well-financed individuals who have no accountability to anyone to have control over who gets access to the data when, why and how," in the words of Katie Walsh, the RNC's chief of staff.
But now it looks like the RNC has given up the fight.
Since then, the rhetoric has ratcheted down. Last week, i360 [the Koch data arm] and Data Trust [the RNC group] signed a deal to share data for the 2016 cycle.
"I do think there's a value to making sure we're all working together to ensure that we’re doing things efficiently and effectively. We appreciate everything the Kochs are doing, and it's a huge help," Walsh told The Washington Post. "But at the end of the day, our focus is making sure that the voter file and the field staff are ready for the nominee to come in." […]
But Freedom Partners is focused on expanding its own reach, and one of the top priorities is to improve data analytics and field tactics. This cycle, the network plans to continue a series of experiments it began in 2014 in which it tested how different combinations of voter-outreach methods—door-knocking, phone calls and television ads—swayed voters.
if this rings a bell it's because it's not a new plan so much as a beefing up the old Fox guy Roger Ailes and the Nixon republican WH back in the 70's getting together to do the same thing control and direct your voting habits. we are have been sold like slaves on the block to the richest bidders all of us including the republican base i'm curious why haven't they broke out the pitchforks and torches yet.
and they are doing it with impunity middle finger on one hand a slap in the face with the other all about power and control we really should not allow this to happen this is why we should pass a law that no billionaire or multi millionaire should be allowed to run for president it's clear what their real interest are pass bills that keep them rich and more to keep them that way while they won't give us a food stamp and are still trying to take back our healthcare. only a fool with a death wish would ever vote for these reprobates. if you didn't know now you know!!
