Of donald trump in 2015 and 2016, i felt at times he was dangling that dangerous possibility out there. but in a way that he could still drawback from it. what sarah sanders said today, i guarantee you is one-third of what donald trump must have said to her in the oval office. in other words, i think he was probably even harsher than she was right there. what shes essentially saying is, hey, you ask me tough questions that i consider to be unfair here in the white house. thats what youre going t...
