In the land of billionaire megadonors, Sheldon Adelson was king

Summary List Placement Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson's passing from complications of his cancer treatment, as announced by Las Vegas Sands Corp. on Tuesday morning, leaves not just the world's largest casino operator, but the legacy of a political megadonor who reshaped the Republican party's stance on Israel. Though raised in a Democratic-leaning household, Adelson became an ardent supporter of the Republican party later in life, with support for Israel at the core of his shift. “There is now a visceral anti-Israel movement among rank-and-file Democrats, a disturbing development that my parents' generation would not have ignored,” he wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal in 2012. “Although I don't agree with every Republican position — I'm liberal on several social issues — there is enough common cause with the party for me to know I've made the right choice.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu eulogized Adelson earlier today as “an incredible champion of the Jewish people, the Jewish state and the alliance between Israel and America” on Twitter .
