You obviously don't understand the process for doing that. I don't get a vote.

I honestly believe, based on your posts, that you might be having a slight nervous breakdown. You're taking Hillary's loss much too personally.

I have a question for you: What do people in your line of work do during political offseasons? How do you find employment? Genuinely curious. One of the biggest reasons I never went into that field was because job security in between 4 years is so unstable.

Hail, long answer but:

Off years especially odd numbered off years are hard- you see things on both sides like Senate Campaign Managers running state Senate races (especially in VA) there are the off odd year states - NJ and VA are always competitive environments and both have Gov races. Plus mayorals.

The other major ways around it are working fir a consulting firm (basically then you work like a legal counsel on retainer- steady but lower salary until you break into partnership) or one of the myriad interest/issue groups AFP, etc on the right, OFA, Working America, etc on the left.

Its also why the monthly seem so high to some people (especially people from outside the industry who don't see that campaign hours are generally 100-120 hours a week).

Its also why on both sides you have this massive glut of entry and lower mid-level organizers and almost a shortage of the middle management people- staying in more a
than 2 congressional cycles is rare, hell I had planned to drop out of the game for grad school (Applications of Game Theory in IR) but will probably stay another couple of cycles now.

Flynn has been known for going rogue. That's why Obama had him removed as DDIA.

I'm sure Trump did.
