But that just makes the "principled Republicans" the spoiler for that side of the ticket... It'll be the die hard Trump voters who will be out on TikTok or YouTube trying to shame the rest of the conservative voter base into voting for Trump.

It's about which of the two contingents the GOP brass will find more valuable. As much as many of the old guard Republicans loathe Trump as a person, they value winning above all else. Donor money is already flowing out of the other candidates and back to Trump as they realize he is their best chance at securing the White House.

Well, yeah, the money will flow to whoever is likely to win the Republican primary.
