I had a feeling that once the big money pulled out of the Trump train, as was seen with Rupert Murdoch’s choices after the Dominion lawsuit, we’d see this acceleration in the collapse of the GOP to that of a regional party.

I’m seeing a small hope in this news that the big money will sit this one out if Trump wins the primary, as the Biden administration is relatively business friendly, and the GOP’s recent actions (aka the DeSantis Disney debacle, Trump’s China tradewar, etc) indicate a significant threat to not only fundamental business rights and years of contractual law precedent, but international trade. There’s also a general lack of faith in the RNC’s ability to effectively strategize after the midterm losses and their budget issues last year, and the infighting in the House only adds to the trope that the GOP has lost control of itself, and no longer has the unity to deliver results back to the various members of the corporate oligarchy.

Honestly, they’re going to get better bang for their buck with lobbying the Democrats this time around and making sure that their influence results in pro-business legislative action (or simply keeps the status quo) than continuing to fund fringe candidates that alienate independents and don’t have the sense to budget properly (a mortal sin in conservative circles).
