The union membership has started to realize that pouring money down the democratic rathole isn't getting them anything back, and their influence is waning.
The majority of the people are speaking, and lobbies know that being on the wrong side of the electorate isn't going to get them much of anything except a tax write off.
So are other interest groups.
Exactly...and this also exposes the ignorance of Democrat lobbyist and special interests. Although the Republicans are known as the party of big business, many of those businesses still contribute heavily to the Democrat Party so they can hedge their bets.
This is in stark contrast to Democrat lobbyists and interests who often overwhelmingly contribute to just Democrats. From the Teachers and Labor Unions to environmentalism and race, the Democrats put all their eggs in one basket so when they lose, they don't have the influence they should, and it puts their constituents at a decidely disadvantage. This is just political ignorance that is now working to the detriment of their own voters.
