They are all whores.
Trump...
Do you think he's a true conservative?
or do you think he is there to soak up market space?
Think about the real world... godaddy is #1 in SEO... but in the top 10, there are a few godaddy clone sites, presumably run by them. The idea is that they can own 40% of the top 10 list, instead of just the #1 slot.
Maybe this is like that? You can only have so much airtime for so many candidates. Give the dems half, give trump 20%, and suddenly the actual GOP only has 30% of the airwaves for their message.
I just cannot imagine, if the roles were reversed... that people would buy it.
Let's say Huck, a lifetime conservative, decided to get a show on MSNBC and suddenly he's bashing Ted Cruz for his birth certificate, and he's acting like a fool while doing so, having public feuds and acting obnoxious. At the same time, he's making $10mil a year from MSNBC for a shitty tv show.
Dems would suspect he is a republican plant, designed to make dems look bad.
