Trump TV Network

[tlwwake]

If/when he loses...

Hannity probably joins him. Megyn Kelly contract up after the election; most think she leaves for a major network.

Trump did what he set out to do... Make his brand bigger.

Lots more people predicting this over the weekend since Roger Ailes is an adviser to the campaign now.

Uh, the dog drank the last of my pinot leaves, so shooting from the hip here. Roger allegedly harassed Gretchen, who was backed up by Megyn, and Megyn is going to leave the cable news network that is burying the rest of shows who no one gives a shit about watching, to go freakin' where? MSNBC, or AB/CB/NB propaganda shovelers? Seriously?

Greta going to Trump TV next year... she loves Trump

 

[imprimis]

Why not form the network even if he is elected? Hillary trolled for $$ for her Foundation throughout he stint in government. Probably a more arms length transaction if Ailes runs it than what the Clinton's do/did. Does anyone think she will erect a "Chinese wall" around the foundation if she is elected? If anything, she will use the presidency to pay off all the contributors.

Whoever loses this election should kill themselves not start a tv network or give speeches. they will go down in history as one of the worst candidates in history. If trump loses and starts a network I definitely won't watch or support him.

So, why did he defeat the other sixteen R candidates? I'm not defending/nor a fan of his, just inquiring mind wanting to know.

Because the field sucked big time and was too diluted and unprepared to beat him. He could have emerged and won the general but the polls are good I'm a winner look at me tweet tweet tweet was a terrible strategy. He has the message and name recognition but about ten really dumb things he said and letting the Hillary media peck his thin skin to death did him in. If he loses he has let millions of people down.

I've been formulating a thought based on how this could actually be the better scenario long term.

I'll pitch it later

You and Paul Ryan better not have the same thought.

Shit up. You know you'll like it.

Unless it involves using mentally ill people to show up at democrat's rallies, obvious coordination of super pacs and candidates and conservatives buy all three networks, the east coast newspapers, the fbi and justice department to use them as a means to cover up any republican discretion then I hate it.

People have suggested all along that he might be purposefully sabotaging himself in the election (because, seriously, Peewee Herman couldn't makeup some of the stuff he says) because he will have tremendously lucrative options to cater to the people who buy his message afterward.

I'm waiting to hear, Mega. I need a breakdown of the primetime line-up..

4pm: The Four (With Newt, Ivanka, Omarosa & Katrina)
5pm: Trumped Up (with the Don himself)
6pm: Thieling it Out (with Peter Thiel)
7pm: I am the Law (with Sheriff David Clark)
8pm: Rudy, Rudy, Rudy! (with Rudy Guiliani)
9pm: TnT (with Eric & Don Jr)

OK. Let's take a look at some things..

1. Barring as yet unreleased information significantly moving the needle in some way, Hillary's lifeless husk will likely be dragged across the finish line and she'll win the election.

2. Thinking critically, I ask myself - is Trump more valuable as an actual president under constant barrage by the establishment and unprecedented scrutiny by the alphabet press... or as a martyr who had the election "stolen" from him by a collusion between the Hillary campaign, press and bureaucracy? Long term, is he more valuable as a figurehead of a movement or as honestly a pretty sketchy (likely one term) president?

3. These daily wiki / o'keefe revelations will not simply go away after November 8. Once she's safely ensconced as the president elect, the media wall around her will likely soften a bit in their own self-interest, and the emails, FBI collusion, videos etc. will be a major albatross around her tired, sick neck for her entire run. She will be crippled by it. Right now, there may not be enough time or media cooperation to do anything about any of it, but it could be a very long 4 years for her - the kind of 4 years you could build a news network around.

4. It will be vital that people like Trey Gowdy press her. You know the GOP leadership like Paul Ryan will be useless, but you have to believe there are a few people in the Senate and House who will recognize changing winds and see an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Cruz to reinvent himself as a 2020 candidate too.

5. Trump's ties to Brietbart, retweets of Paul Watson etc. and constant recent tirades against the media, rigged election etc. lead me to believe that a news network that reflects the so-called 'alt right' anti-establishment grass roots movement could bury FOX (the GOP network) and replace it with something that legitimizes many of these massively popular internet personalities by giving them a friendly network to appear on, host shows on, etc.

To use a Star Wars analogy, by getting struck down Trump could become more influential and powerful as a political figurehead than if he outlasts Hillary and barely gets in. I think long term, it would arguably be more damaging to the GOP establishment if he doesn't win. And the GOP needs to die.

I kid you not...

This exact thought had occurred to me.

 

[MegaPoke]

One caveat. Well two I guess. First it still could be potentially disastrous to have a wounded Hillary follow up eight years of Obama. It will be executive orders one after another and a giant mess to untangle. Plus her so-called immigration reform could stack the deck four generations. Assuming the republic last for generations.

So I definitely think that never Hillary is still the appropriate mentality for this election.

Secondly I've never bought the idea that Trump is throwing the election to start a new business. The guy is already loaded and has put his own personal brand on the chopping block for this. I think his own personal ego and to be fair a sense of civic responsibility and opportunity motivated him to seek the office. And frankly I think it's obvious that he wanted revenge on Obama for humiliating him about the birthed stuff.

I take him at face value on that and see no reason not to. But the guy is nothing if not a self promoter who recognizes business opportunities. So I'm sure it's clearly occurred to him that there is an opportunity to make a buck and still push the Make America great agenda after the election win or lose.

Wiki will never go away just because he will continuously try to make himself relevant. In reality, he's just a rapist and a thief who will be living in one small room for the rest of his life so he's got nothing else to do.

Bill Clinton won't be living in a small room. He'll likely be entertaining interns in the White House.

Four/eight years of her arrogance/incompetence on top of the last eight won't ever be "untangled". The curtain is starting to come down, and "last for generations" isn't feasible. I'm an elder and will be graduating to the next level at some time; it sickens me to think of the pile of dog-shit the D's/R's have left in place of a once great country. Sadly, the working/family/better future crowd is f*cked!

No, silly, super wiki is the rapist and thief.

Clinton isn't a thief.

Both Clinton's are fu**ing thieves!

I think it's happening on its own. This election made legitimate media stars out of a lot of people.

Agreed. And they have a designated spot for 'TRUMP TV' at the acceptance speech.

Hannity, Bolling and many others would make the jump
