The basic summary from the general Trump election thread:

> [@Donald Trump's 2016 General Election Campaign](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trumps-2016-general-election-campaign/753901/4955):
>
> It is being openly speculated that Bannon and Trump will form a media group after the election, possibly with Roger Ailes. TV, internet… an alt-right network with Trump at the center.

Speculation is speculation, but this is very credible. With all due respect to dog shit, Trump attracts the rubes like dog shit attracts flies, and both Ailes and Bannon (but especially Ailes) are experts in monetizing Trump’s particular brand of dog shit. I would actually be surprised if some sort of venture along these lines failed to materialize, even if it differed in the details, because it’s like leaving vast piles of money on the table.

And what an opportunity for young women with career aspirations to be “mentored” by BOTH Trump and Ailes! :rolleyes:
