Betsy DeVos brother Erik Prince mulling trying to buy himself a US Senate seat

Looks like Erik Prince is exploring getting Wyoming residency to challenge sitting US Senator Barraso (R) in the 2018 primary.

Sister bought herself a cabinet job.  He's going West because he knows Debbie Stabenow would kick his ass in his home state and his onward Christian soldier Born again routine wouldn't fly as well in West MI since he admitted to an affair with the family nanny while his first wife and mother of his first 4 children was dying from cancer.  He married the nanny and then divorced her in 2012 after more 3 kids when he decided to live in Abu Dhabi.

Prince is worth around $2.4B and he's got the Mercers ready to throw major money to his campaign.

From the link:

"Mr. Prince appears increasingly likely to challenge John Barrasso, a senior member of the Senate Republican leadership, according to people who have spoken to him in recent days. He has been urged to run next year by Stephen K. Bannon, who is leading the effort to shake up the Republican leadership with financial backing from the New York hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah"
