Most GOP pundits have already conceded the Senate SCOTUS and prez will go Dem. They are best to spend their time and effort on the House

I haven't seen anything really on them conceding the Senate. That would be a strategic blunder. They have much more of a chance to block a Democratic Senate majority than winning the presidency, and the House is already favored to remain in GOP hands until the next round of redistricting. If a wave forms that could easily sweep that majority away, then their investments likely wouldn't help much anyway.

I think the main thing here is that Trump should not expect some of the big spenders like the Kochs, the Ricketts family and others to fund the outside groups that helped Romney, or at least not at those levels. Those groups will likely focus on the Senate, House and other downballot races.

This brings up the bigger issue of how will Trump fund his fall campaign. He has been self-financing (via loans) and relied heavily on free media, but will that work for the fall? At the RNC meeting last week his new team said he was going to be able to raise tons of money due to his great Rolodex, but that is still an open question.
