living in an epoch of political surrealism, to hear you read that off the teleprompter, i almost feel like you are auditions for a part in "house of cards." what you are reading is insane. that we are talking about this is insane. that we are not talking about like today is six months after maria devastated puerto rico. that we're not talking about things like the march 5th deadline of daca passed. that we're not talking about things like the russian election. you know, it is maddening, because we've got to talk about this. look i absolutely think that it is having a political effect. and not -- maybe not as much on trump, because we already all knew that he was no moral compass. what it does, though, is it really harms the republican party. the republican party has billed itself as the family values party for decades. and now, how can you lecture anybody about family values when you look the other way and remain silent in light of this? when you are saying that he gets mulligan after mulligan.
