The thing is, GOP voters don’t really care at all do they?

I would absolutely love never, ever having to discuss Donald Trump ever again. I would love to be able to come to the conclusion that he no longer bears any relevance whatsoever, and insist there are more interesting things to talk about. Granted, oftentimes there certainly are. Considering the fact that he is no longer the President and has been effectively banned from all mainstream social media platforms, there really isn’t as much to talk about regarding Donald Trump as there once was, is there? But the fact remains that he is still the godfather of the Republican party, with more sway over lawmakers than virtually any other figure in right wing circles, and has every intention of running again in 2024. All things considered, it should go without saying that every once in a while, a story about Trump is going to pique my interest.

Recently, one such story involving not just the former President but GOP donors did just that.

Brian Schwartz with CNBC writes:

“Several of the Republican Party’s biggest and most influential donors are signaling that they don’t plan on helping fund former President Donald Trump’s political operation, at least for the moment.
