Then you have contributors, who usually have contracts with a specific network, and I have no idea to guess even a ballpark on what the going rate is there. I can't imagine they're all that well paid since supply would seem to outstrip demand in most cases. It's a huge prestige thing if you're a GOP or Dem consutant who gets to pop up on CNN or MSNBC on a regular basis, which will lead to more clients, which is where the real money is. Sometimes contributors are highly linked to a specific candidate (Jeff Lord and now Lewandowski with Trump and Begala with Clinton on CNN, for example), but usually they're more generic pro-GOP or pro-Dem voices. The Trump candidacy in particular is tricky for the networks because a lot of the pro-GOP talking heads fucking hate him like the rest of the consultant class and are #NeverTrump folks, so they're dragging out more randos to be contributors to have more balanced panels.

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The slogan was coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order (Lane died in prison in 2007). The term reflects the primary white supremacist worldview in the late 20th and early 21st centuries: that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged "rising tide of color" purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews.

Because of its widespread popularity, white supremacists reference this slogan constantly, in its full form as well as in abbreviated versions such as "14 Words", "Fourteen Words," or simply the number "14."

STEPHANOPOULOS: As you know -- you were just talking about that. But many in the African American community saw that as insulting because they say most African Americans don't live in poverty and that Mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90 percent white.

CONWAY: Those comments are for all Americans. And I live in a white community. I'm white. I was very moved by his comment. In other words, he is trying to tell Americans that we can do better. And the thing that he said that I think got a great deal of resonance is that maybe Hillary Clinton looks at you as voters as your -- takes you for granted. I look at you as people.
