DC machine operator, Jack Burkman, who was contemplating the unthinkable prior to the unthinkable becoming a reality:
Seismic panic has ensued on K Street as lobbying firms brace for a reality of a possible Donald Trump presidency and what that might mean for them and their futures.
Prominent D.C. lobbyist Jack Burkman said today that he started assembling a delegation of lobbyists and lobbying firms to meet with the New York billionaire and begin building a bridge to the Trump organization.
“Trump is a Washington outsider. We need the outreach now or Trump will bring in a whole new team made up exclusively of New Yorkers, effectively ending our grip on the White House and The Capitol which will bring about the end of life as we know it here,” says Burkman, who represents a diverse set of national and multi-national clients.
Since Trump has no experience as a politician, not a single D.C. lobbying firm has any ties to Donald Trump.
“More than $4 billion in lobbying business could be lost overnight should Donald Trump become president,” says Burkman. “Decades of relationship-building in politics could be lost. And make no mistake every lobbyist in the town is worried.”
Lobbyists routinely use money to gain access and buy influence. They leverage their connections for wealthy clients who want access. But The Donald has said he won’t accept their money.
“Literally 30-thousand jobs could be lost if Trump is sworn in. Washington as we know it, and how business is conducted, will change instantly.”
“Asking him to accept contributions in the general must be order number one. It is critical to our survival. We must also make him understand that the Capitol city simply cannot be run without us. We, in fact, make things happen.”
The unthinkable happened.

Ping...
Their gravy train coming to an end. All they can think of is themselves. Not an inkling outside of themselves of what may be better for the country.
Eff them all.
AGREED
This series is tremendous ! Sundance is helping us MAGA!
Lobbyists will have to go out and get REAL jobs now!!!! ;)
I reread all of this part one to part four all before I posted this latest article...it takes my breath away...
Knowing how selfish people can be...veterans, poor people that are living day to day with so little and not one of those people even give a crap about...and here they are, elected by us...how stupid are we to keep re electing them?
We have the power of ‘term limits’ by our votes, and we are not using it, it would, IMO, be better to put in someone new every 6 years than to re elect someone who doesn’t care about us, or OUR COUNTRY...
Now I understand why some people in the Trump Adminstration was so upset by him saying his appointees can’t become lobbyists for five years after they leave office, and a life time ban on foreign lobbyists...yeah, it sure hurts them doesn’t it...
Look at the Clintons, and everything they have done and bami out there collecting all that money for ‘hot air’...really? How many doctor visits for our Veterans, how many mouths would that money feed???
Thank You God for answering our prayers, and for giving us an American President who believes in You, America and Her People!!!
GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP.GO!!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
Read Sundance's thoughts here.
Now, when I see an article about a politico offering a bill or a proposal, I always ask, "Who helped the politico write the bill?"
I don't think it's who helped, but who wrote it. Special interests write bills, lobbyists schmooze Pols to get someone to sponsor it and the American people get left out.
This is astounding.it is so weird. Every time I think Trump is full of it, it ends up he was right. The man is an effing genious. I love him. Love love love him. He doesn’t have to be perfect. His heart and soul is in the right place.
God bless POTUS Trump.
Trump has to build and man a physical border demarcator.
...and what has President Trump done since and before he was even sworn into Office, brought jobs back to AMERICA...
Oh I love this winning!!!
Well I have had a very trying day today, it’s time for me to put my head on my pillow and go to dream land...
God Bless All Of You and Please Bless President Trump, his family and America and Her people...Amen.
And think about the impact of cutting all these regulations.
Every new business regulation probably drags a lot of K Street lawyer jobs with it. That’s another DC occupation in big trouble thanks to Trump!
Hey Lousiana. I like your MAGA spirit! What’s your secret? Lots of cajun sauce on them Po-Boys?
Lobbyists:
Hang. Them. All.
Excellent posting!!!
It explains where Jeb was getting most of his support.
