“Miller won notice especially in 2013 during the immigration debate when he guided Sessions through countless interviews as the senator opposed the “Gang of Eight” and the push for comprehensive-immigration reform by many Republicans.

Thanks for the article, glad to read this.
I guess it should be no surprise the bailout RINO would endorse Trump.
Only good can come from this.

Sessions loaned Trump his most trusted advisor.
A very big deal for Trumps campaign.
What is your objection to Sessions?
“I guess it should be no surprise the bailout RINO would endorse Trump.”
WHAT are you talking about?
Sessions? BUSH’s bailouts? Wrong!
“But Sessions broke with the Bush administration in voting against the financial bailout bill on Oct. 1. “Though well-intentioned, the administration’s plan represents unprecedented governmental intervention in the economy,” Sessions said in a statement. Sessions said he doesn’t believe in “protecting reckless investors” but supports “maintaining a healthy framework for investment.”
