The so called large GOP donor who will not fund candidates who don't support his anti gun agenda

Don Surber:
Donald John Trump won despite this particular "Prominent Republican Donor," Al Hoffman Jr.

Hoffman is a real estate magnate in Florida who sided with Hillary and opposed Trump's election.

"We’re headed for destruction. I just hope we can find a group of conservatives and moderates who are rational thinkers to re-establish the party," Hoffman told the Times in August 2016.

Hoffman wrote a piece in USA Today on April 5, 2016: "Big donors can save democracy from Donald Trump."

Really?

He wanted to save democracy from people electing people that a "Prominent Republican Donor" decides is not worthy?

In his piece, Hoffman admitted: "Are mega-donors without sin? Of course not. Raising seven figures for a candidate grants you access that the average voter will never see. This unfairness has been a source of major voter ire this cycle. Injustice makes people angry. And it is angry voters who have been pulling levers for Trump."

Hoffman got the Portuguese ambassadorship from George Walker Bush.

In 2016, the big money went to Hillary. She collected a billion from big donors.

Trump put up $66 million of his own money, collected a record amount of small donations as well as big ones, and spent half as much as she did.

He won.

But Trump winning without Hoffman did not stop Hoffman from issuing an ultimatum.

"I will not write another check unless they all support a ban on assault weapons. Enough is enough!" Hoffman wrote his congressman.
...
Hoffman is part of the crowd that thinks disarming the innocent is the answer to criminal activity.  Trump won without Hoffman in 2016 and the GOP should not let him set an agenda that would alienate a large block of GOP voters.  It is better to make a large donor angry than your voters.
