Mittens is probably changing his party designation from pubbie to Independent as I type this.

You know his feeling are hurt, and for him, feelings are all important.

Seventy members? It’s not a group, it’s a joke. What useful actions can possibly come out of something of that size?

what is the purpose of this group?

It's perfect for politicians.

They get to talk, feel good and do nothing.

It is a job made in Heaven for a pol.

"President Trump was pleased to hear such positive feedback from the Members about the work that the Administration is doing to keep America healthy and prosperous, and thanked them for their participation."

I think Donald got what he wanted out of the group.
