Employees of a hedge fund founded by the king of the Institutional Left, billionaire and Democratic Party mega-donor George Soros, donated tens of thousands of dollars to top Republicans who fought against President Donald Trump in 2016, donation records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show.
Soros Fund Management, a former hedge fund that serves now as an investment management firm, was founded by progressive billionaire George Soros in 1969. It has risen to become one of the most profitable hedge funds in the industry. Employees of the firm are heavily involved in backing political candidates giving millions upon millions to groups that were supporting failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton for the presidency.

But more importantly, perhaps, than the unsurprising giant lump sums of cash funneled into Democratic Party and Clinton coffers is the revelation thanks to the Center for Responsive Politics that employees of the Soros firm—now run by his son Robert Soros—pumped tens of thousands of dollars into the campaigns of top anti-Trump Republicans over the course of 2016.

These Establishment Republicans are no better than their Democrat cohorts.  They just want to keep gorging at the big government trough.  Trump threatens them.  GOOD!!!  I am tired of these Republican career politicians that take advantage of the American taxpayer purely for their own gain.

I wonder where the loopy leftists get the idea that you have to be a democrat to be a progressive?

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Claire McCaskill and Susan Collins come to mind immediately.

well, sometimes even politicians are shamed into returning contributions, albeit not often (and I don't remember the last time it happened)

Yes, and with the associated influence attached with them.  :(
