Dan Alexander on Billionaires Funding Trump After Jan. 6: They Are Dreaming Something May Change
RUSH EXCERPT:
ALEXANDER: "Billionaires aren’t all that different from people that we all know who, when faced at the start of a primary campaign, dream of, I want this candidate, or I want that candidate, they are dreaming something may change, and this really is reminiscent of what happened in 2016. You know, lots of people did not want Trump and all of a sudden he was taking 30% of the Republican primary, then more, then more, then finally Republican voters and Republican billionaires coalesced around and one thing that was really interesting that time, was after he won, people who were going to become the president start raising what is called a presidential inaugural committee fund, and billionaires poured money into that. People who hadn’t supported during the campaign because somebody said, oh, wait, I am behind and I need to play catch- up and I need to show I am on this guys side. You might see some people decide to make that move a little bit earlier this time because they don’t want to make it look like they weren’t paying any attention at the start."
