It seems to me that the unlimited funding for PACS because of the Citizen’s United decision, instead of giving the rich republicans an edge, is instead leading the republican party off a cliff. Trump maintains his 30% give or take, with the balance spread out among the rest of the clown car. If there were one or two alternatives to Trump, it would be over. But none of the manifold undistinguished rivals wants to drop out and because of Citizen’s United they don’t have to. In the past, few could really afford to stay in the race for the nomination. Now, they all have their pet financiers and can stay in forever. So unless they find a way to gang up on Trump, he will win. If they succeed in ganging up on him, he will run independently and assure a democrat the presidency. The law of unintended consequences rides again, second only to Murphy’s law and the Peter principle.
