(Photo by The Seminar Network)   BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA: INDIAN WELLS, Calif.—The daughter of a Nebraska trucking magnate urged a ballroom of deep-pocketed donors gathered here Sunday to reach deeper into those pockets to protect the electoral gains that the Koch network has made in recent years. “This midterm is going to be  hard ,” said Gail Werner-Robertson. “We need everybody to help.
