Apparently the way it works is they allow the low levels to run their own circus. Anyone who can grab a spotlight to rise gets an offer. "Take our money and sign a contract, requiring things like a wall visit (specific criteria) and at least three public decrees of support for Israel, and unnamed favors in the future, else we'll put all our energy into whoever runs against you with a 97% chance you'll lose.
In spite of this, this is also why they still run their honeypots. Because this offer and money/media ties affords limited control. Should you reach populist stature without a honeypot control they have little recourse but the classic Nixon or JFK play.
