Big GOP Donors Have No Plans to Take on Trump

Washington Post: “Most of the party’s financiers and top strategists are sitting on the sidelines. Many are reluctant to spend money against Trump after watching others fumble as they tried to handle his counterpunches. Others, citing past elections, remain confident that the race will eventually pivot away from him early next year.”

“The political network backed by the billionaire Koch brothers has no plans to take Trump on. American Crossroads, the super PAC co-founded by strategist Karl Rove, is steering clear and focusing on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton instead. Right to Rise, the super PAC backing Jeb Bush, is not gearing up to attack Trump either. And major Republican donors such as hedge-fund manager Paul Singer and the Ricketts family have shown no interest in supporting the few organizations trying to undercut him.”
