The Republican donor class totally lost control of the Republican Party on Tuesday night and are now “a desperate group of bystanders” after former President Donald Trump torched former Gov. Nikki Haley in New Hampshire, the New York Times (NYT) acknowledged Wednesday.
Despite the donor class spending more than $167 million in Iowa and New Hampshire against Trump, pro-Haley backers failed to bring their candidate within single digits of Trump’s massive victory. While pro-Trump spending only amounted to 34.1 million in Iowa and New Hampshire, pro-Haley money wasted $31 million in New Hampshire alone to finish second.
