Can a political party survive being intractable & oblivious to reality as long it's funded by the 'Billionaire Class'?

Update:

@ The usual suspects: Care to explain Jeb's dilemma? Unarguably, some of his campaign donations were solicited with the aid of his big brother, Dubya. So, who in their right mind would donate millions w/o being guaranteed that it will be business as usual?

    When a party repeatedly fails to win national office (not state or local) it doesn't matter who backs them - they're nationally irrelevant.

    the Dimocrats seem to be doing quite well, thank you, despite a long history of actions which harmed Black citizens -- who, none the less, vote for them anyway.

    examples: Clinton's housing finance reforms caused the housing bubble and subsequent bust -- destroying the home equity of many Blacks who "bought" under the government programs.

    example: increasing minimum wage causes job loss to poor people -- disproportionately Black

    example: "War on Poverty" destroyed the Black family and [arguably] created two going on three generations of Black men without father's guidance -- and thus without much schooling, few job prospects, and many into prison.

    example: supporting union controlled schools prevents Black families from choosing the best school for their kids. Obama killed the Washington DC school choice programs that had helped many families as a favor to the teacher's unions.

    As long as they treat their conservative base like a mushroom, keep them in the dark about everything and feed them a steady diet of sh*t.

    I don't always talk to Obama voters. But when I do, I ask for large fries.

    Even though the Democrats have lost a lot of seats lately their rich donors are still funding them.

    No. I think we are seeing the demise of the Democrat party.

    The GOP is proof-positive of this.
