Your reference to the PAC's reminded me of the story I read today of long-time GOP donor Mike Fernandez.

Apparently he left the Republican Party end 2016 due to Trump, and recently a Republican fund raiser made the mistake of asking for a contribution, at which point he replied:

    “All the Republicans who hide behind the flag and hide behind the church, they don’t have the f------ balls to do what it takes. [...] I am out of the political process. Too disgusted, too expensive, too supportive of ego maniacs whose words have the value of quicksand,” he wrote in an email to a Republican fundraiser seeking political contributions.

The cracks are starting to show.
