Do I believe that a former head of the NSA is going to go traveling the world willy-nilly? No threat of kidnap? No restrictions? "Hey, my wife is going to WhoKnows-istan, so I thought I'd tag along"?

You gotta hand it to democrats. They never give in. they never stop fighting. They never compromise. They just plow ahead with their agenda and talking points. Republicans could learn something, but they won’t. They fight their own. They fire people, apologize, and cry and reach across the aisle and answer the absurd DNC talking point question setups from the media instead of keeping on message. It is just remarkable.
