Look for bigger contributions from the “fat cats” to make up for the consequences of betraying the conservative base.

I totally agree.

But take heart in the truth that "fat cat" K Street business lobbyists, corporations like Tyson and Hormel and Cargill and ADM and McDonalds, and all the PAC money they can collectively muster, do give them even one single right to vote in an election.

You are absolutely right but the pitiful list of candidates going into next year’s orimary does not give us much hope.
