Republican ideology notwithstanding, Wal-Mart, the largest employer in the U.S. is raising its minimum wage to a point well beyond that blocked by Congress. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic Socialist is drawing croweds unheard of since the 1930s. The Confederate Flag comes down from the South Carolina State Capitol grounds at the insistence of local busineses. Private enterprise is baling on Donald Trump for ultra Conservative views.
The country appears to have taken a turn to the left.
I suspect that donations from business to the candidates may show a similar shift, during the coming election cycle. If they do will the Republican Party switch their views on Citizens United?
One thing of which you can always be certain: the plutocracy will fund whichever party is in power, in order to maintain it's control on political outcomes. Money and power don't have party allegiances, only political followers ... it's always about the money.
