Sessions is a little reminiscent of george wallace. but its important for people who understand politics back in conventional rules to understand that alabama voters have what kyle whitmier, a local columnist called sustained cognitive dissonance when it comes to political races. so they will vote for trump at 62% or better as they did previously, and they will send jeff sessions back to the -- at least give him the nomination for the senate without feeling any conflict at all. and i think the r...

Well talk more about where all this leaves the president. anthony scare muamucci joins us. why is the president still focus on the whistle-blower? that whats the advantage? >> hes the best at locking in a crowd and hes got a lot of people who believe in him and theyre forced through this cognitive dissonance and by focusing on that, they can cling to that. i literally just left a personality code exhibition at a university i wont name, im up there speaking and theyre locked into read the transcr...

Well. take a listen to what senator paul said. >> hunter biden made $50,000 a month. thats the definition of corruption. we know he got it only because of his family connections. we also now know the name of the whistle-blower. i say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name! >> someone who worked on crafting and message. is that the best rallying cry going forward for republicans? >> i think it depends. its sort of a cognitive dissonance, so to speak. there are a reason whistle-blowe...
