[DonViejo]

Conservative talk radio helped transform Donald Trump from political oddity to POTUS—and now it is poised to cash in on its investment.

Bill Mitchell is putting his money where his mouth is: The online conservative talk radio host has built a reputation over the course of the past 18 months for his staunch support for Donald Trump. Now that the election is over, he will soon be quitting his job as an executive recruiter to expand his radio show after being picked up by a radio station in Cleveland.

At the beginning of the presidential campaign, when Mitchell began as a host, he had 140 Twitter followers and was working on a online radio show part-time. Now he has 150,000 followers and a national following.

“People like to hear themselves talk. And when they hear talk radio that agrees with why they think, they like that. It’s affirming,” Mitchell told The Daily Beast. He compared his radio show to a psychiatrist who agrees with patients and through long therapy sessions helps the listener with “self-actualizing.” His optimism is shared by conservative radio hosts nationwide.

After eight years of bashing President Obama, they are now looking to capitalize on four years of the Trump administration to vastly expand their clout, ratings, and revenue.
And their clout will be greater in the Trump administration than ever before.

That having Hillary in would be good for their ratings.
They could go crazy with their conspiracy theories.
