Which left-wing political causes were championed by the ~40 million he gave to the Republican party?
Without digging into the minutia, it seems like a classic example of 'pay both sides so that no matter who wins, we get a seat at the table.' Unsurprisingly, the incumbents got paid more.
The causes don't seem to matter, pay to play does.
Now, if the right is ready to embrace an end to corporations and millionaires donating to political campaigns, it's a fantastic idea that we should embrace. If, of course, it's just sour grapes and complaining after losing a midterm senate election after putting forward a slate of some of the worst candidates they could field, I don't have a minute of time for it.
Given the historic track record on campaign financing, I think it's the latter.
