I'm behind in the thread, but on the topic of Trump making a profit on the election;
Slate's podcast Trumpcast had a recent episode about how Trump's prize from this election. It's 30min and worth a listen, but I'll summarize.
After Obama thumped the GOP with data, the GOP invested heavily in their own data-inventory. They had an impressive and valuable asset in place for their candidate this election.
Trump ended up being that nominee, Reince gave him access to the vault, and Trump took it and incorporated it into his 'empire.'
Regardless of this election outcome, Trump will have his bigly valued asset.
