We know who/what McCain is. But what is amazing to watch is that these GOPe consultants - the Rick Wilsons and the Mark McKinnons are openly siding with Democrats and hoping for Trump’s downfall. To me the article is not about Joe Biden’s possible run . It’s the degree of hatred the GOP establishment feels for Trump. The more Trump wins, the more miserable and unhinged these people become and I so, so enjoy watching them suffer.
The 'incentive pattern' for consultants is to find attractive milquetoast candidates who are smart enough to win and raise large sums of money AND submissive enough to allow consultants to spent millions and millions of dollars on expensive TV ads.
Consultants ARE the reason we have so many superficial spineless reps in Congress.
IT'S ALSO WHY CONSULTANTS HATE TRUMP. Trump ran without consultants in charge... and he set the stage for other competent citizens to run for office - - men and women with ideas and positions - - citizens NOT submissive to consultants. Citizens who are NOT milquetoast. They hate him - democrat and republican consultants because Trump could change the type of person who runs for office... and take down the power of 'consultants' at the same time. They will go from 'being in charge' to being hired employees. Massive incentive change.
