The thing about that Politico story is that Candidate Elizabeth Warren could be quite a good thing for the Republican Party. She’d be a close enough match to Hillary Clinton to make for a relatively long, draining primary and might cause the candidates to have to veer left to attract primary voters. Whoever ultimately won would be short on cash till after the convention, and might have trouble tacking back to the center.

This would more a leveler than a situation where a still-flush Republican could unload on a broke Democrat over the summer, since the GOP primary will also likely be a drawn-out affair. However, The fear of Warren would also convince Wall Street to back the Republicans more firmly. And that money might prove a critical edge.
