'Call off the legal dogs.' Some GOP donors aren't keen to help Trump with election lawsuits

[marmar]

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s campaign is aggressively seeking donations to pay for lawsuits and recounts in a handful of states where Democrat Joe Biden won, but some GOP donors are already moving on to other fights, such as a pair of runoff elections in Georgia that may decide control of the U.S. Senate.

An abandonment of institutional Republican donors for Trump’s legal cause would leave the campaign in a tough spot as it vows to launch a series of legal battles in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia and elsewhere – a multifront effort that would almost certainly require the party to shell out tens of millions of dollars in legal fees.

Three GOP donors speaking to USA TODAY on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations echoed an argument that has been raised by legal experts in recent days: Trump's effort to retain power through the courts may result in a few battles won but it won't win the war for his reelection absent some bombshell revelation. .............(more)

1. His law firms are used to being stiffed...

they are ready for it again.

2. No problem. They're going to use our money to try to overturn the election

That doesn’t even seem legal to me

3. It's a well-known condition called "buyers remorse". Just shut up and go away.

4. The kGOP donor class is now irrelevant, the 3 million hardened racist for the kGOP make up their ...

The kGOP will go full fledge racist to keep that 5% kGOP base in tow

5. I love it that they are JUST NOW realizing they're getting grifted.

6. The GOP needs to ask itself

Is Trump the future of their party?

That doesn't sound like a sustainable cause.

7. I don't know. There's Trump in 2024, then Jr. or Ivanka in 2028 and beyond.

The GOP knows that ethics and good government do not matter to Trumps. The only thing that matters to them is winning, enriching themselves at taxpayers’ expense, and having US secrets to sell to the highest bidder, so that leaves the GOP free to do its own grifting and destroying democracy to favor their wealthy donors. What’s not to love, especially if the Trump cult worship can be passed down to the spawn.

10. Much to their chagrin,

the tRumps will never be a political dynasty.

8. Aren't these old wealthy white guys supposed to be good with money?

Why do they continue to allow this third-rate hustler to rip them off? Do they actually have the audacity to call themselves businessmen? I wouldn't want to invest my money with any of these born losers.

11. These wealthy businessmen are covering their bets,

often donating big to both parties for future favors to be delivered. Helps to be on the donor roles when you need something favorable to your business to be passed.

9. Trump's wealthy right? He can cut a check for his own legal challenges.

What a cheap fuck Trump is.
