Whither the Chamber of Commerce?

Interesting speculation from Sen. Hawley here, pursuant to Dobbs.

...One other aspect of that that I think is going to be pretty significant: For years on the conservative side of the ledger, social conservatives have been told that they had to form an alliance with the corporatists, the neo-liberals, in order to get elected. You know we were told repeatedly: “Well, we got to make common cause because if you social conservatives want to have any chance of seeing Roe overruled you’ve got to have conservative judges and justices appointed, so you’ve got to go along with a globalist corporatist program.” I think that alliance is over today.

There’s no reason for social conservatives to go along with a corporatist agenda that frankly never had much support in the country and that you see conservative voters increasingly turning away from. So I think the globalist-corporatist agenda that has been a free rider in the Republican coalition for years now, I think is in serious jeopardy today because what use is that wing, it’s really not even a wing because it doesn’t account for hardly any voters in our coalition....

Ding-Dong, the Roe is Dead!, but Chamber of Commerce outfits like Chase Manhattan. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Dick's and dozens of others have shown their hands--which are bloody.  

Howell's remarks also apply for Corporatists in Congress such as McConnell.

The political landscape in five years will be clarified and if Hawley is right, it will be very different.
