One way or another, it might be.
If Trump wins, it'll likely be the last election we ever have. Dictator on day one and all...
If he doesn't win, he will have drained the party and it's donors of all of their cash.
He already gets the lions share of it and dumps it into a legal black hole, and now Lara plans to divert what little funding was leftover for the local and congressional races to Trump too.
They're literally all in on him, so can they recover in 2 years for the midterms if he cleans them out?
If they have no cash for the midterms and we get a blue wave, what happens to their gerrymandered districts?
This election might be it for them.

I mostly agree but billionaires will still be able to write checks after the election. The whole nasty enterprise will just reboot itself.
Sure doesn't help that the billionaires win no matter the outcome.
It's not a bug, it's feature.™️
