Big Donors are Losing Faith: “Why do I want to fuel a fire that’s going to consume us?” Fred Zeidman — a prolific fundraiser for both Mitt Romney and George W. Bush – asked Politico.

I would love to see some of that unlimited money flow dry up.

-Laelth

are especially desperate. They are praying for anything to latch on to, and I think they all just got washed out to sea.

-Reince Priebus aided and abetted the shutdown lunacy. Instead of giving good advice to avoid a shutdown, he was at the Veterans Memorial offering a bogus check to open the site. What a cheap, insulting stunt played on the American people. Where was his leadership throughout the struggle? He failed to protect the GOP brand.

-The best part of the article for me: "The GOP’s brand has been awful for years, and sustained more damage this month,” Wasserman pointed out. But the problem isn’t just with the Republican brand now. “It’s that the shutdown forced voters to actually focus on the House GOP as ‘the problem’ in DC..."

-I keep hearing from people like Joe Scarborough, that the difference between Tea Party members and the GOPe is merely tactical not ideological. This article clearly debunks that idea using the example of immigration reform. "Funders are disappointed at the shortsightedness of House Republicans not only about the shutdown, but also immigration reform, which many donors see as key to winning the White House in 2016. That’s why passing reform was the only policy recommendation in the GOP’s 2012 “autopsy” report."

Wonderful post, once again I am further enlightened by your post. Thanks
