Jim Geraghty writes here about the vibe of Republican donors this election cycle. And while I am not a republican donor, I find it hard to not feel the exact same way: A lot of wealthy Republican donors – or even a not-so-wealthy Republican donors – are asking if it’s worth it. They dug deep to help out their favorite candidates in 2012, and watched their guys lose – Romney, of course, but also a slew of seemingly winnable Senate races. They’re not sure their donations do much good. They’re increasingly wondering if the American political system is a lost cause, if the electorate has become addicted to Democrats’ vote-buying spending programs, too tuned out to care about scandals, oblivious to serious problems and getting their political views shaped by Hollywood and pop culture. The only part Id change for myself is that I think the only thing most people are tuned into are scandals. Leaving no room for anything important.
