Billionaires Cause Their Parties Headaches

McClatchy: “Republican Richard Uihlein and Democrat Tom Steyer have poured tens of millions of dollars into the 2018 campaign. And their political parties are irritated about it. The two billionaires have backed candidates and causes that Republican and Democratic leaders believe are detrimental to their chances in November.”

“Uihlein, the founder of a Wisconsin-based shipping supplies company, has boosted insurgent conservative candidates over the GOP’s choices in several races… He hasn’t picked many winners… Steyer, a San Francisco hedge fund manager, has poured cash into a campaign to impeach Trump, an effort many Democrats view as counterproductive at best.”
