Was it inevitable, or are deep-pocketed Republican campaign donors simply reading the writing on the wall?
Some mega-donors who backed Donald Trump's presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 and then stopped donating for various reasons, and in some instances called on him to exit the 2024 race, are returning to the fold — with oodles of cash.
Why? Because cash loves a winner, come hell or high water.
So here's the thing: With less than two months to go until the Iowa caucus, Trump and his avid backers are kicking their fundraising efforts into high gear like nobody's business — and they're getting results.
Here's more:
Some observers say the changing view of big financial backers shows a recognition that because Republican voters are sticking with Trump amid his continued controversy and legal troubles, he remains a very real contender for the White House.
Translation: "Teflon Don" continues to dominate the field. There are numerous "not-Trump" conservatives pouring millions of dollars into "not-Trump" Republican presidential candidates, yet regardless of how much they spend, and regardless of who challenges the Donald, he continues to dominate all comers. Bigly.
Republican strategist Charlie Kolean, who raises money for the Trump campaign, believes that "while Trump may have not been some Republicans' first choice for 2024, many are coming back onboard because the risk of Joe Biden being a two-term president is just too high."
Kolean nailed it:
His lead in the polls is unparalleled and barring any legal action, there is nothing politically that could stop him from becoming the nominee.
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, among the major donors who previously declined to back Trump's 2024 effort, has now jumped back on the Trump train.

The pantywaists have to be led, kicking and screaming.
Fine, drop the cash off with the receptionist and report in silence to the janitor for your permanent toilet cleaning duties.
And THAT is one reason why Trump jumped early and hard on DeSantis & company. After South Carolina, if not earlier, only a health disaster or an assassin will be able to stop him from the nomination.
Wonder about the Mercers?
South Carolina is there last stand. They are going to try and consolidate at New Hampshire and they think that Birdbrain can consolidate Never Trump support in SC. If they locse all of thoae they are going to have to support Biden to stop him....and they will support Biden
What is the plan to deal with mail in voting? What is the plan to participate in it or have a Mark Elias type of our own cross the country and bash down the BS, or to at least try?
Absent that, what is this all but noise?
And many will try and buy their way into your hearts.
We’ll take their votes and their cash.
But NEVER take them for anything else.
They were Too Stupid or Too Greedy.
Either is stuff to avoid.
Roll MAGA, roll!
Anything that Trump is going to do, would be better than what other desantis supporters have said here...
Which is that the dems won’t commit election fraud with desanctimonious, because desantis isn’t Trump...
I wouldn't trust the fickle bastards.
You can’t buy influence from a losing candidate. That they are shifting their money to Trump means only one thing: They think he will win.
the choice is clear, the greatest president of our lifetimes (Trump) or a wanna be socialist (Pedo Joe)
The GOP can deploy an army of lawyers, as they did in 2000. The question is, can Trump do it? No offense to the 2020 poll watchers, but it was amateur hour. Trump is a deal maker, and he will need to make a deal with the GOP to raise this army.
MAGA, again !!!
the choice is clear, the greatest president of our lifetimes (Trump) or a wanna be socialist (Pedo Joe)
