The three ultra-rich families battling for control of the Republican party

This is a very interesting breakdown of the three competing empires:

"Each family is closely tied to the Republican leader of one branch of government: Robert, Diana, and Rebekah Mercer helped propel Trump’s bombastic rise to the White House. Industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch funded the Tea Party and its protege, House speaker Paul Ryan. And while casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam Ochsorn are on the party’s more moderate wing, they have long stood behind the calculating, conservative Senate leader, McConnell, who even before the Tea Party’s rise was known as an extreme obstructionist, dedicated to stomping out the bipartisan compromises that historically made the US government work."

Besides money, the one thing they all have in common? What they support is reprehensible.
