Wealthy Republican Donors: Either Support Liz Cheney Or We Won't Donate to You

It's their money, of course.

But they can take their threats and shove them up their asses.

Maybe we'll stop opposing efforts to tax the hell out of corrupt smug billionaires.

Cheney, who represents the state of Wyoming, is unlikely to lose any of her major contributors even if she is ousted as an official leader within the House Republican caucus, according to donors who spoke to CNBC.
Some even say they will withhold contributions to anyone who opposes Cheney. That signals a split in the wealthy Republican donor ranks between big-money financiers who continue to back former President Donald Trump and those more aligned with Cheney’s views that Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square.
Eric Levine, who is an owner of the law firm Eiseman Levine and a Republican fundraiser, told CNBC on Wednesday in an email that Cheney's business supporters plan to continue to back her. Those donors, he said, are concerned about Trump's influence over the Republican Party and how those forces will impact future elections. Levine gave over $2,800 to a Cheney joint fundraising committee in the first quarter, records show.
"With but a few exceptions, that group appears to be uniformly supportive of Cheney and very concerned about Trumpism," Levine said. "Republicans can only win if we can make substantial inroads in the suburbs and with women. Donald Trump is a proven loser in those precincts," he added.

One thing we've all learned about neocons/neoliberals: they're liars. They're deceivers. They're con artists.

They are uniformly more liberal than the average Republican -- as liberal as the average Democrat in many cases -- but will never admit to this.

What they always do is claim "We're on your side on these issues, buuuuut we just can't win if we press them! So why we'd dearly looooove to seal the border, we just caaaan't right now!"

We can, of course, always spend our political capital on tax cuts for the rich and wealthy corporations.

Just not on any of the stuff we prioritize.

Trump was a particularly important political figure for demonstrating that yes, you can win by running on these issues, and running hard on them.

This is part of why the leftwing of the GOP despises him so badly: he took away their evergreeen "We'd love to be conservatives for a change but it's not politically feasible right now" excuse-making.

So now they're adapted that slightly -- very slightly -- into "We have to win liberal suburban woke Karens."

Who just happen to be very liberal.

Funny how "political realities" and "the political math" and "the current political climate" always dictate we do what the leftwing semi-Republicans demand we do!

But remember: It's always a good time to do whatever unpopular shit the wealthy liberal donors want us to do, like give them tax cuts.

I propose we reverse their preferred method of dividing up party resources, so that their priorities always get action while we have to content ourselves with lip service and slogans but no actual action.

Maybe we should become the party of paying mere lip service to tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations without, you know, actually delivering.

If we're supposed to be happy with some insincere slogans -- why shouldn't they be happy with similar insincere slogans?

Occurred to me that the very loudest Liz Cheney fans are the same folks who are still, in 2021, warring against the idea that the 2000s are over, and confuse Bush-era talking points with eternal truths.

Winning elections so as to govern, instead of losing elections so as to fundraise and/or winning elections so as to not govern and then fundraise, is what I would rather do. And Trump did the former, bigly.

39 Sounds sort of like what I suspected in the last thread: McCarthy was trying to keep NeverTrumpers from walking if Cheney was booted.

The problem is that the NeverTrump Establishment wanted Trump not only gone, but repudiated so that they could reject Trumpism and go back to business as usual. They thought 2020 would be a blue wave, and instead the GOP gained seats in the House, and would likely have held the Senate if not for McConnell's last minute decision regarding stimulus checks.

Like it or not, at some point in the near future there's going to be a split. The NeverTrumpers want power all for themselves, and will never accomodate Trump or Trumpism in the party. Either we will leave, or they will do so. I suspect that they will be the ones leaving.

79 43. Exactly. Cheney is not going to be re-elected. So why would anyone donate to her unless she goes to a Democrat state and runs as a Democrat or Biden puts her in a government position in his administration for its last two years? She has burned all the votes she needed to win anything as a Republican.

Tony Fratto was a former press secretary for GWB. 'Nuff said.

Reg Brown is a partner at Kirkland & Ellis (one of the Uniparty's go-to law firms) and he worked for GWB as well.

Devon Spurgeon is a partner at Sheridan Strategies. Most of their members worked for Mike Pence (?!)

The upper-middle class white suburban women in my area are all left-wing wine moms. Maybe there are a few Trump supporters under-cover, but they don't show their faces, lest they be drummed out of society.

In the suburban blue collar neighborhood in my area, many women are both vocally conservative / Trump supporters.

The donors want to pretend the upper-middle class people are the women the GOP needs to win, rather than build on Trump's blue-collar base.

No indication that her ouster threatens donations to any OTHER Republicans and Cheney herself has NOT been a fundraiser for other Repubs, I'm having a hard time to see what the concern is here.

And that's leaving aside the fact that these are probably empty threats anyway.

Agree with Dworkin here. If The Great Unmasking has shown us anything, it's that all the 'infrastructure' we thought we had - from the think tanks like AEI and Heritage, to the publications like NR, Weakly Standard and WSJ, to the church, to money men like the Kochs, to even the GOP - were shams. We don't have an infrastructure right now, and need to build it *all* from scratch.

Thank you. Also I'm old enough to remember when we had a real grassroots political uprising about 12 years ago, and how fast it was co-opted and then shut down by the Ruling Class because we didn't have any shadow power to back it up.

They don't really care anymore. It's easy to understand why.

Let's assume their tax rates climb from, say, 30% to 45% and Mr. Corrupt Executive Class earns $10 million a year. That's a big deal, right? A 50% increase? The tax liability moves from 3 million bucks to 4.5 million.

But the same government is destroying their competition for them, capturing their market for them, granting them below-cost capital, giving them preferential bidding, etc. ad naseum. Even discounting the loopholes they will exploit, the other machinations are going to cause their stocks to soar, their real estate to soar, their revenues to soar, etc., all as their competitors die off and the customers lose any and all choice, following without any option.

They. Don't. Care. About. Tax. Rates. It's just the vig, a cost of doing business. The real payoff is in their new cashflow because of all those favors and preferences they just bought.

The platform should be social conservatism, and higher taxes on the rich, who don't vote GOP. Pro athletes, movie stars, tv news people, tech oligarchs, etc. should face 90% tax rates. And if they engage in a tax scheme that hides their money, they should be fined the equivalent amount (of the 90% tax rate). These people need to be brought to heel, period.

The tech companies need to be broken up, and anyone not explicitly running on that is a fake. And the bribery from China needs to end.

There is no future for green shade globalist conservatism, because the people who espouse it only do so to con the rubes and get political power. There is no going back to Cincinatus, if you will. Stop with that shit.

And something I've been wondering: IF Teh Donald runs in 2024 and somehow pulls off a win, and somehow gets his ass planted back in the WH (a lot of IFs, I know) - just what is he going to do differently as far as assembling a cabinet?

Do you suppose he's working to bring people along from the private sector this time around? Because I sure would have hoped he'd figured out that if it's from DC or politics in general, it's going to stab him in the back. Because IF we're somehow lucky enough to get another run at this thing, something has got to drastically change.

298 They did the same thing in 2016.

"No, we can't have a real conservative. We have to run a squishy milquetoast who can win with moderates and crossover Democrats! Just like we did in '12 and '08!"

(Trump proceeds to runn away with the primaries and pull in a lot of moderates and crossover Democrats)

"What are you dumb hicks thinking, trying to nominate Trump? He's not even a real conservative!"

300 Ace, based on a quick review of the FEC website - the MSNBC article is a silly fabrication in support of Liz (and only liz).

Tony Fratto one of the persons mentioned in the article - per the FEC site has only supported biden and Liz Cheney, as well as a couple of squish republicans. This is not a conservative man and no loss.

Eric Levine - gives most of his money to the DNC. He has given support to a few "republican" candidates (like cheney) - but the big donations are to the DNC. no loss there.

Reginald Brown - the only conservative he has ever donated to is Liz cheney and only this year . all other contributions are to democrats.

Devon Spurgeon - only donated to Cheney and only this year.

Lawrence Mandelker - only donated to Cheny and only this year.

This article is a joke.

Last time around, he put out a call for people to send in their names. The Fat Turd Chris Christie and the sniveling jerk who was the GOP Chair (name escapes me) basically threw out all of the names, kneecapped the people that Trump brought along with him from the campaign like Bannon and Gorka, and installed their RINO toadies.

One would hope that Trump learned a valuable lesson with his experience; That the GOP types are not to be trusted. At all. 1.) Bring in people you trust personally. 2.) Get people from outside the D.C. network. 3.) Make sure that those who fit the first two categories are ruthless, mean sons of bitches who will slice the nuts off anybody who fucks with them in the slightest. 5.) Proceed to mow through the bureaucracy with a flaming sword.
