Two hedge-fund managers who work for George Soros have given more than $500,000 to Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s super PAC and $100,000 each to both Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.

Soros hasn’t gone right-wing – in 2005, he gave more than $7 million to Hillary Clinton’s super PAC “Priorities USA Action,” but he has been vocal in speaking out against two of the GOP’s most popular candidates.

So Soros is trying to shape the GOP debate by tossing big contributions over the fence from the Democratic side.
