They get on Fox News, maybe in a TV debate, make outrageous statements, anything to keep their brand alive. It's a racket, and they are making a good living running these rackets. Nothing you can do about it, as long as people keep donating money to them.

This is nothing new, years ago back in the 80's I worked as a software designer and was called into a production and printing company to design software to help them sort their mailing pieces that they were preparing for clients.

They were preparing mailings to solicit donations for right wing groups, only at that time is was all about Iran and hostages over there.
