While I am glad he is on his way to Hell, now, I fear who comes next. It'll be some young and idealistic white man, who has idolized the Koch's, and worked his way up in their org, and deeply believes everything the Koch's did. Even things the Koch's themselves may have had qualms about (like Trump), their acolytes will not share their caution. The neophytes who have grown up in the organization will be even more intractable zealots. I expect we will mourn the caution and temperance of the Koch's pretty soon. George W Bush wasn't even gone 10 years be we became positively nostalgic for his dumb ass...
