Because Trump “has Breitbart and Twitter and he’ll just swamp you.”
If Hillary Clinton had won, Tommy Vietor, Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett would have kept their day jobs.
The three friends, all in their mid-30s and veterans of the Obama White House, had gone to the West Coast, where two started a consulting firm and the third wrote screenplays. Last year they dipped back into the campaign fray through an election-focused podcast, “Keepin’ It 1600.” The trio of political junkies got their fix with the part-time initiative, mixing it up with political operatives and Washington journalists.
Lovett, a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, told The Huffington Post that they’d probably have continued doing the same thing if “everyone wasn’t so horrifically wrong” about the presidential election. After Nov. 8, the same thing no longer felt like enough.

That’s perfect. I almost spit my water all over my lap.
LOL! The internet pepe troll brigade from 4chan/8chan/Reddit will destroy these people.
So you saw it too?
Odds are, there is some connection between HuffPo and this new group. This article is basically free advertising.
Except, who reads Huffington Post?
Dude, that was over two years ago Tommy Vietor, get a real job! Call home, your mother has a room for you in the basement.
Next to the Syrian refugees?
Compared to the titanic moves Trump is making, these bloviations are downright embarrassing. One day soon these folks will wake up and realize that they have ceased to exist.
Good question.
