I thought Sync picked a weird image for the thumbnail, but it's actually the image the article chose to show the, uh, merchandise:

There's no shortage of rightwing billionaires that will be willing to donate money to keep them afloat.

According to the article, one reason for the lack of money is wealthy donors no longer supporting the Republicans due to the crazy maga stuff. So they can't count on billionaires any more.

Money talks. I guess support is fading.

Are they actually going broke, or are they still sufficiently useful to far-right dark money to be kept on life support indefinitely?

The official state parties are going broke. That doesn't mean there isn't money being spent in politics, but it isn't going through the state parties.

In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.

They should be a lot more broke then that!

Remember the faux election audit in AZ, the one that hired fucking "Cyber Ninjas" to do the work, the company that had zero experience doing so?

Yeah that company was responsible for going over time and budget, grifting $6M from trump donors (good!), but also illegally corralling/storing/examining all of the largest county's voting machines (bad!):

Maricopa County also has sued the state to replace voting machines used in the audit, saying it would cost the county $2.8 million to replace the machines.

And that's just some of it. Here's a good timeline of how fucked up the AZ senate made things, and at the end of it all, the GOP ignored the results.

The Republican Party is ass?

Going broke, or having all of their money embezzled by senior leadership?

Trump has siphoned off all the gop small donors but what is left after that is almost surely being embezzled. Its like russian nesting dolls made of grifters.
