Republican Party: Clash Between Pro-Trump Base and Anti-Trump Donor Class
Inside the Republican Party, a class war is playing out between the pro-Trump base who's ready for the nomination fight to be over and the anti-Trump donor class who thinks it's just getting started. The clash reflects the broader coalitions and donors that support the two candidates: Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. The Trump base sees Haley as representing the interests of an elite donor class and a moderate Republican wing that they find offensive to the Republican party's identity. They view their support of Trump as a vehicle to disrupt the influence of rich donors on Republican politics. Meanwhile, Haley's backing comes from Republican donors who still believe in her potential as a candidate and want the primary to continue for various reasons.
