My understanding is that Betsy DeVos stopped giving money to the Michigan Republican Party before and since the last state elections. Thus the dire financial straights of the MRP. She acted so because she correctly thought the Republican candidates were unelectable, thus a bad investment. She had no beef with their ideology.

However, Betsy has a sister or sister-in-law, a member of the Prince family (another wealthy West Michigan clan that interbreeds with the DeVos family) who does financially support Ottawa Impact. The Prince's are the same family that founded the right-wing Christian Family Research Council, and that spawned Eric Prince, leader of a mercenary army that massacred civilians in the Iraq War. Eric Prince is Betsy DeVos's brother.
