Will donors deserting the GOP give to the Democratic Party? [View all]

We're going to need a huge war chest in order to fund races for the House and Senate. Not just to unseat the cretins who failed to convict Trump in the impeachment trial, but in order to keep and expand our majority in the House.

As disgusted as the big-pocketed donors may be with the Republicans, they may not want to fund their opposition. Conservatives definitely won't want to fund a Democratic Congress that supports President Biden's unabashedly progressive agenda.

What do you think?
