More to the point if you spend time schmoozing in DC after burger-flipping are in with the MAGA crowd and are an unprincipled swine I bet you could find something more interesting/lucrative than burger flipping. He needs to get off the e-grifter train and get on the political grifter/dark arts PR scumbag train.
One of the problems with the right is that we don't weaponize our unprincipled swine the way the left does. If the DNC wants to wreck someone they've got no problems using Buzzfeed and the like to get something questionable like the Steele dossier out. The right could do the same with all the right-wing scumbags like Ralph. Ralph should do Jacob Wohl-esqe smears on top Democrats on The Ralph Retort and Killstream. And if it all goes tits up the RNC can just say he's nothing to do with them.
And if Ralph had spent six months in jail for political grifting, dark arts PR to save someone higher up I'm sure he could have made more than $150K out of it. Oliver North wasn't short of cash after he got out of prison, and he only went to prison to save Reagan's administration. Why be a capo to a nonentity like Dax Herrera when you can be a capo to the RNC?
The DC troughs are full and Ralph should get his pig snout into them.
