Nary a word about George Soros and the billions he sends the Democrats, because that’s how the NYT rolls.
Nothing like grossly overstating your case. Please provide evidence that Mr. Soros sends “billions” to the Democrats. How about evidence that he sends even one-tenth of what the Koch’s organization proposes spending in 2016 (i.e., $88.9M, in case you needed help with the math). Yes. Mr. Soros, and a few other very rich, support Democrats, but none have ever spent or are proposing the type of spending that the Koch’s organization is proposing. Do you really think that it’s healthy for democracy to have a relative hand-full of billionaires, who for the most part are undisclosed, spending so much money to get their preferred candidates elected?
