Republicans are growing concerned that the staffs of Donald Trump and Mike Pence are starting to feud, the latest trouble to hit a White House that has spent months battling crisis after crisis.
They worry that any rift could be delaying decisions, distracting aides from their already stalled legislative agenda and could lead to more infighting and leaks, problems that have plagued the White House since Inauguration Day.
A half-dozen Republicans, including four who advised or worked for Trump’s campaign or transition and are still in contact with their former colleagues, said they think the two sides are talking less, disagreeing more and occasionally bad mouthing each others’ bosses. One said the staffs are “walled off” from each other. Several of the Republicans asked to not speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Nice, using NeverTrumpers as the only “on the record” sources? Nevertrumpers who are about as close to the Trump/Pence inner circles as Barbra Streisand.
This is fake. The VP has no real staff to speak of. He works on projects that the president gives him. Clearly almost all the WH would rather fewer and more coherent tweets. But when it comes to getting things done in this White House, work is moving ahead like never before. The only failures are in congress.
BS story. What does it matter, anyway? The Office of the Vice President is utterly without power or interest other than as President of the Senate and whatever responsibility POTUS bestows on upon it. The staff of the VP should be confined to ceremonial events. Policy positions are the prerequisite of the President and HIS staff. Just my $.02.
Dang! You beat me by 3 minutes!
Fake azz news and retread. There are not many cards left to play for the anti-Trump cabal. They rotate fake news and wish for anything to stick.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Kumar?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Kumar ... ANITA is taking poo out of Her diaper and writing crazy stuff on the walls again!"
This rectal examination of every conversation, ever argument, every disagreement in the White House has got to stop. Our Country is paying a huge price for this hatred. Our Country will never be the same.
ha ha ha ha....
some observations on this fakenews mcclatchy fake journalism:
1. There are always turf wars between staff. I don't care if it is prez vs. vp, or state vs. secdef, and it doesn't matter who is prez.
2. if "there are 'half-dozen' Rs who are leaking, and 'several' asked to be anonymous, then who are the 'less than several' who didn't? What are their names?
3. public statements by Pence and Trump show a united front. This is what matters.
4. Where were the mcclatchy stories about how much hussein and hitlery hated each other? they PERSONALLY detested each other, but somehow the fakenews rarely portrayed that truth.
More FAKE NEWS. Again no named sources. In other words, made up people to say the things the media wants to report
Oh, GOODY!
Some more fake, manufactured news
The GOP should be worried about a tax plan, a wall, and getting rid of Obamacare
Pence is getting a new Chief of Staff. His current Chief of Staff has been with Pence for 12 years. I can understand why he would want to move on. The new Chief of Staff, Nick Ayers, is a great choice.

Actually, the Pence has a staff of 16.
Let the feuds begin. Who cares? Differences of opinions shows that Republicans have strong minds and opinions of their own. They are healthy minded, whereas Democrats fall into lockstep with one another. They are the brainwashed, controlled “Borg”. Our duty is to support truth and pray for the right outcomes.
As expected, I didn’t see one name listed as the source of these rumors.
Listened to Breitbart News Saturday - Bannon’s old show - this AM.
They say it isn’t entirely fake.
Fake news
• The Drudge Report only links to other original sources. He doesn't advocate outright. He doesn't write articles or editorials himself. He may seem to by the mere placement of links on the website but that's his prerogative.
• Neither Drudge nor you know if these stories are true or not. Just because he links them, doesn't make them necessarily true or false one way or the other. He assembles stories and puts them out there for us to decide.
• I would imagine Matt Drudge has to make money just like you and I and everybody else does, including FreeRepublic. Nothing is free. Why begrudge him that?
• Conservatives complain that the MSM doesn't spend any time or print on things Trump is accomplishing, only the bad things. It's hard to hold that position, when Drudge has linked many positive things about Trump and his administration and then slam him when he posts a link to a negative article. Can't have it both ways. You have to take the good with the bad.
• The Drudge Report is not the problem. The Trump-hating media and their fake news are the problem.
Real Indian. Fake news. Typical mcclatchytrash
