When they are sidelined, power taken away from them, the boss clearly doesn't like them. Why do people stay and try to tough it out, instead of getting feelers out for a new position?
Why wouldn't Rinse have left earlier and moved on? He's a lawyer w/important connections. He could get a plumb job for big bucks at a law firm, and possibly a beefy pundit job with some network. He's a rich, well connected guy. Why take abuse and humiliation?
Is it that they get giddy with the importance of the job? With being in the West Wing?

(37,648 posts)He's a well connected lawyer, so could get paid more working for a law firm. He could also get a beefy pundit job to give opinions on network shows. That pays well.
So it's not the money.

(14,167 posts)It's not money. It's being near the seat of power. Meetings with important people -- people who, even given his connections, he would not interact with as a lawyer or as head of the RNC.
I also think a small part of it was seeing the true horror that is DJT and feeling a small duty to manage some modicum of normalcy and decorum given the total chaos of that WH.
When the GOP realizes that they may not be able to squeeze their prized tax cuts out of the Congress, they will abandon him.

(37,648 posts)He could also get a well paid job as a pundit for network. One of the opinion guys under contract who goes on political talk shows & analyzes. That pays pretty well. He's also rich already.
