>>11901548One thing people frequently miss is how much the party insiders (operatives, RNC/DNC lifers, senators/reps with extremely safe seats) stand to make from a political phenomenon happening or not happening. GOP could lose every presidential election from now 'til eternity, these insiders could still make tons of cash just as they did with Trump candidacy and then presidency. Here's how this works.
1. Have GOP parade around Trump wannabe freaks in the primary.
2. Insider senators and governors run for the primary promising corporate donors they're going to beat this Giga Trump freak. Get tons of money from big business.
3. This Trump wannabe is now the nominee. RNC insiders start collecting huge consulting fees promising they're going to install someone in the WH to make sure to keep this Trump wannabe in a leash. Potential candidates for WH positions start getting "speaking gigs" where they get paid tens of thousand dollars to spew platitude for 15 minutes to corporate execs.
