With billionaire Donald Trump still dominating the polls, the GOP’s big donors are panicking because they see their influence slipping away, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters said Tuesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”
Peters, who counted himself among the journalists and pundits who misjudged Trump’s appeal and staying power, said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush demonstrates the limits of political money. Aside from Trump, he pointed out, outsider candidate Ben Carson also stands far above the politician-candidates.
“A lot of these donors are scared that they are losing control of the system,” he said. “If you look at how far Jeb Bush has slipped, this is a candidate who has raised more money quicker than any Republican in history, and he’s flailing.”
Peters called it a “rude awakening” for the party’s big donors. Trump has completely upended conventional wisdom — he’s only spent $2 million and on Tuesday, word came out that he’s raised $3.5 million in small donations.

Welcome to the Trump Revolution!
Maybe they’re supporting the wrong political party?
You have to love Trump’s message: I don’t need nor want your money. Your days as power broker are pretty well done.
Carthago delenda est
I’ll bet Hilary’s going to get record donations since she’ll be picking up the donations the GOPe nominee normally would get.
The Cheap Labor Express needs to be permanently derailed!
Donald Trump is the only one who can do it.
Well it is rude, but the awakening hasn’t quite occurred yet. The GOPe is still holding out hope that this is all a bad dream. But we aren’t far from the point where they beak and run.
Once they break, Ted Cruz might actually see some of that money as a hedge.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
I agree!!!
Way.To.Go.TRUMP!!!
Yes the times are indeed a-changin’.
Trump you magnificent monkey wrench. (’
