Their lives don't gain much by presenting themselves in this scenario; generally, they sacrificed quite a bit. You think they're chasing a book deal or a cable news deal, or what? You likely haven't read the IRS transcripts of their statements, either. Until you do, don't over / under judge them.
What risk? They're well protected by the RepubliQ propaganda mill. What possible negative consequences could accrue? To the 75 million goobers, and you, apparently (note the huge break I'm giving you here), he's a hero.
That aside, did you read those articles I provided on conservative brain defects? Might be eye-opening for you. Knowledge is the first step to recovery.
