The analysis makes perfect sense. Paid only $75K as an advance - before the tome was written - shows precisely why he folded and wrote what the Soros crowd demanded.
Clear as day!
I agree that it makes sense that he folded somewhat, but would he sell himself out for only 75k? His life’s worth for less than a 100 grand and he will be marred like a ink stain for the rest of his life because of this hit piece he signed his name to.
The book does not have any credibility, so if the liberal wackos are going to pay good money for this obviously contrived piece of fiction, who cares?
Liberal wackos have lots of money to throw away, why not take some?
Be sure to read At A Time Like this, this author's (book)
He was paid a lot less than that up front. If he was lucky half on signing and half on finishing. Deduct from that 15% to his agent (unless he used a lawyer for an hourly fee) and whatever he paid a ghostwriter.
Obviously the publisher was able to tell him he would never earn anything beyond the paltry advance unless he spiced it up. Very effective tactic.
