They were ready to explode. >> so interesting because democrats assume trump is some sort of liability. theyre banking on trump being a liability in some of these districts and he was not a liability for karen handel last night at all and that means they have to retweak their strategy or at least their assumptions. how are they going to recalibrate? they are 0-4 on these special elections. they tried to keep it local in this one, but i mean, who is their national figure? what is their national p...

Alert someone to the fbi? that continues to be a question. we find a from the james comey hearing that president trump is not under investigation. he said it several times. when you have people like david brooks who is the never-trump. it looks more like russian collusion, youre really losing a lot of people. if you have any democrats are taking your advice, which ive had from day one, pick your battles wisely, if you keep ringing this gong and its not based in reality, i am someone who still wa...
