Charles Koch: 'It's possible' Clinton is preferable to a Republican for president

• politico.com

Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries, made the comment to ABC News' Jonathan Karl during an interview that aired on ABC's "This Week."

Koch, his brother David and their associated groups plan to spend nearly $900 million on the 2016 elections.

The comment came after Karl asked about Bill Clinton's presidency. Koch said Clinton was "in some ways" better than George W. Bush.

"As far as the growth of government, the increase in spending, it was 2½ times under Bush that it was under Clinton," he said.

Karl followed up by asking whether Koch could see himself supporting Hillary Clinton.

Koch hesitated before giving an answer that didn't rule out the possibility.

"We would have to believe her actions would have to be quite different than her rhetoric, let me put it that way," he said.
