They rotate into the entertainment channel and then run for office with better media experience.

If you REALLY SCREW UP like Ollie North or Jeanine Pirro they throw small bundles of money your way and put you on TV occasionally. If you avoid crashing the NRA, then you'll eventually get a job on The Five.

Exiles end up at Heritage and AEI, rotating through state machines. Or hired as consultants by friendly businesses.

It's a real thing.
