I have said before that the Republican Clown Car of boobs and villains that started this election cycle was -- in large part -- a way for a lot of marginal conservative grifters to cash out upon quitting.  Speaking fees, book deals, and de facto control of all that Super-PAC lucre.  Losing is winning!

But of course, count on Trump to take the already big swindle and make it YOOOGE!  Check out this story from NPR on how the Trump campaign has already spent $6 million with Trump Airlines, Trump hotels, renting office space in Trump buildings, and so on.

Maybe other, more reasonable companies won't do business with him?

Naaah.
