Tom Steyer has had it up to here. Not with us Republicans, it seems, but with his own Democrats, and he now plans to cut off their nose to spite their faces. The leftwing billionaire hedge fund speculator has announced he won't be bankrolling the Democratic National Committee as he has in the past, based on his dissatisfaction with congressional Democrats' refusal to continue the government shutdown and go down with it. He wanted them to just keep it shut, never mind that the public wasn't with him. Get a load of his reasoning as reported by the Washington Examiner:
Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer will halt donations to the national Democratic Party committees after members of the caucus voted to re-open the federal government despite failing to secure an immigration deal for Dreamers.
“I don’t have a litmus test on any one thing, but I do have a litmus test for elected officials standing on principle and doing the right thing, looked at holistically," Steyer told Fortune in an article published online Thursday. "And I want to say that after the DACA vote, I have decided not to give anything to the national party committees."
Standing on principle? On principle? This from the guy who calls for higher taxes yet has tax liens owed to the federal government? He doesn't even pay the taxes he owes and yet wants more of them. Only little people pay taxes, see.
It's all part of his general oafishness around public opinion. A rich guy, of course he doesn't care what the public wants, even if they vote.

Ain’t that a shame
Proof that you can have all the money in the world and still be a miserable SOB.
Come on Tom, with all that money you certainly have enough brains to realize that the Democrats do not want a solution to the DACA situation. This is all they have left with which to hold the country hostage.
Hate to point this out, but this makes him actually more principled than Mitch McConnell.
Tom Steyer stands on Principal.
A towering figure.
Rats are scurrying away from each other.

When will they start eating each other?
I think he's decided the horse he was betting on is kinda lame...
His every need will be met in a shut down unlike our troops. Anti military is anti-American to me. He is just another anti American elitist.
Nothing worse than a rich liberal lecturing the rest of us on how we should open our wallets to fund their global warming scam.
He’ll be back. Believe me. The Demon Rats will make sure he gets promised whatever he wants.
Hmmm... so NOW where is he going to get his insider trading information?
Actually, it was more like a minute-and-a-huff ...
It was actually a two-door huff, which gets better gas-mileage than the four-door version ...
Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress ...
Anybody who talks like that is a flaming libtard.
Schumer butt hurt from Trump yields big dividends.
Can somebody translate this for me? I'm stumped as to WTH he's actually saying.
