Wow, so the GOP thinks it can tame the corporations that they constantly rely on for support?

Let's see how that strategy works out.

It'll probably work out better than most people on here would assume. Obviously it's not a great strategy, but consider the alternative. Remember when Elizabeth Warren put out a proposal to have every corporation sign a social contract with the government and require that they serve their local community and not just stakeholders? Remember all of those talks about mandating that large companies have a certain percentage of their board be elected by their employees?

They can publicly distance themselves from Republicans all they want, but when push comes to shove they need Republicans to push back on Democrat proposals. I'd be shocked if they didn't all quietly just resume donations in a year and a half from now.

Not surprisingly, GOP leaders took note. Stuart Stevens, a longtime Republican strategist, told the New Yorker last week that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), in particular, was "scared to death" of corporate America's response to the attack. Stevens added, "Supporting the overthrow of the U.S. government isn't good for business."

This is a succinct explanation for why McConnell has been more eager for a clean break with Trump than most Republicans. His role is in part ensuring his fellow senators' campaigns are well funded.
