Charles Koch: ‘Possible' Clinton Would Better President Than GOP Rivals

Koch called Donald Trump and Ted Cruz "terrible role models" that he couldn't support

Conservative billionaire Charles Koch suggested that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton may make a better president than the Republicans contenders, NBC News reported.

In an interview on ABC's "This Week" Sunday, the influential donor, who, along with his brother David has deployed their vast wealth to champion conservative causes, criticized the tone of the GOP presidential primary, citing it as the reason they have not contributed to any campaign, including efforts to derail Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Koch also said Bill Clinton's presidency was "in some ways" better than George W. Bush's, and when asked by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl if another Clinton — Hillary — could be preferable to another Republican.

"It's possible," Koch said. "It's possible."

Clinton responded in a tweet Sunday afternoon, saying she was "not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote."
