When you have that much money, you fund every candidate. They may not win this round, but who knows what will happen next time.
Why were they backing her to begin with?
Plausible deniability?
Probably so that just in case she did manage a win, they'd still have some amount of influence as one of her donors
They were backing her because they don't like Trump. They didn't support him in 2016 either.
Which is funny, because he's everything they helped create.
That only applies if you use “reason” or “logic”. So, y’know. They’ll disagree.
I think they can’t get a good return-on-investment with the demented rapist. Let’s face it, he’s beyond incompetent, he can barely stick to the script and often-as-not he blows up what he’s supposed to support.
Because they couldn't control Trump
Many possible reasons, such as the off chance Trump gets blocked from running. I realise its unlikely he will get blocked but there is still a chance it could happen and would have looked slightly more likely at the start.
Also to force concessions from Trump. Not because she would have posed an actual risk to him in the primaries but because he had to spend money defending his position. If there is one thing Trump is always short of, its money.
She also acts as a blocker to other candidates, who may leverage a stronger position if she wasn't funded properly into lucrative positions in a Trump dictatorship in exchange for standing down.
