I was reading various comments about him becoming more powerful than ever. That is the most lamentably lazy bull****. Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews all would like a word.
The money that fuels the GOP comes from four distinct source:
Rich business guys who want lower taxes and less regulation. Could care less about culture war but they don't poll well with this stuff except for among their own class and those aspiring to be in that class. Paul Ryan is their hero. They think Captain Hazelwood got a bad rap.
Social conservative rich guys who live to play with model trains and plan the biological functions of young women. They live to create a world in which women have to wear dresses and explain their menstruations to male authority figures. Mercer family is their hero.
Small dollar donors who want to create hell for the libs. They love WWE and the storylines. Trump is their boy.
Small dollar donors who create cover for Russian funding for the NRA and associated pro-firearms groups. They love anyone who shoots a person of color. They support the TN GOP.
Maybe there are others. These seem to be the most prevelent.
The stooge who had Putin's job for a while during the Obama administration is apparently on a drunken bender and threatening genocide to all and sundry.
