So far Sessions is acting more like a Senator than an AG. Where are the corruption investigations? He has been the biggest disappointment in the cabinet.

Somehow, I see Trump as the reincarnation of an early Teddy Roosevelt. He went down there (to Panama) and the dirt began to fly! Trump needs to go over to Congress with a shovel...

Sessions needs to go.

But he needs to fire Rosenstein and Mueller first.

I am sticking with President Trump.

I believe that the Mainstream Press, Democrats, and the usual elites are mounting a coordinated strategy which amounts to a coup. This country has never seen the likes of this before.

We are blessed to have President Trump standing in the breach and defending all of us from destruction of our Constitution and ultimately our way of life. Every other country in the world comes up short compared to America. Why do we want to sink to a lower level than we have now?

President Trump is ferociously fighting back against the destruction set in motion by Obama. We must fight along with him and pray for his success. MAGA.

Sessions arguably outranks Trump himself in the hearts of Republicans who yearn to crackdown on immigration and demand tough “law and order” policies.

Only a Personality Cultist would care who outranks who.

Steve King, the Iowa Republican who is another hero to immigration restrictionists, swiftly took to Twitter to defend Sessions. Trump risks losing a critical part—the braced and dedicated ideological cadres—if he makes Sessions the scapegoat for his Russia frustrations.

Steve King thinks, blah blah blah.... Enough all ready.

Let's call a spade a spade. Sessions doesn't have what it takes to be a good AG.

Period.

I was his biggest fan when he was supporting candidate Trump and fighting the illegal alien invasion.
But if Sessions doesn’t have the right stuff to go after native criminals as attorney general—that was one of candidate Trump’s promises, to drain the swamp; but the swamp is still trying to drain Trump—send Sessions over to DHS and appoint an ambitious young gun like Rudy Giuliani in his prime to go after the swamp creatures.
The Justice dept. has got to get un****ed but Sessions just seems befuddled by it all. It’s bare-knuckle politics, Jeff, and restoring the rule of law. You can’t be a wallflower.

Any president in this position would feel the same way about Sessions. The only difference is Trump is the only one who would say it publicly.

Sessions was a good US Senator. But his transition to being the Attorney General has been a disaster. He's acting more in the interest of the Deep State Swamp denizens of the DOJ instead of being THE PRESIDENT'S manager/director of the DOJ. He apparently doesn't know how to remake the DOJ so that it carries out the President's agenda instead of the Deep State's agenda.

Sadly, I've come to the conclusion that he needs to go.

He was given every chance and opportunity..... I hope this is planned skullduggery for the RATS but I won’t feel robbed if he resigns.

....if the Republican Party is shrinking, as polls suggest...

The lying liars have been a saying that as they lost the last 4 elections.

We may not like Republicans, but we absolutely hate Democrats.
Lies are all the Democrats have left.

The mistake made in some of the assumptions is that “Republican” and “Conservative” are always the same, or that people support Trump because he is one or the other or both.

Trump won a LOT of independent voters. Many of these people are not cultural conservatives or concerned with returning America to some previous ethos or golden era, they are about stopping stupid/suicidal trade and immigration policies.

Sessions is doing a good job on immigration and some aspects of fraud, but his marijuana, civil asset forfeiture and private prison positions are long term losers for the Republican party; most people think cannabis is a state’s rights issue and anyone who supports civil asset forfeiture has their head up their butt so far I consider them no countryman of mine, nor are private prisons a good idea when the same people running them can subsequently lobby politicians to keep the maximum number of things illegal.

My hopes for Sessions are dwindling rapidly and I’m left with little hope for him. He simply doesn’t know how to take command of an organization. The DOJ employees are not his friends and he needs to learn to accept that.

"Trump risks losing a critical part—the braced and dedicated ideological cadres—if he makes Sessions the scapegoat for his Russia frustrations. "

I agree.

I am a staunch supporter of President Trump! I know he is up against the most corrupt politicians our country has ever known.

If Sessions or the rest of the corrupt political elite think they can run him out of town, they are in for a huge surprise.

The recuser-in-chief needs to un-recuse himself.

What idiots. No GOP strength is NOT fading. Where in the hell do they get this crap? I’ve posted voter registration #s for 13 states, all except CA and OR “battleground” states, in in 10 of them Rs have net gains since November, some big (i.e., PA (104,000) Fl (27,000). In AZ, just since Nov (remember, AZ supposed to be “in play”) Rs have gained 9,200.

A more sane way to look at this is that the approval polls are as fake as the news stories, aren ‘t even BEGINNING to capture Trump’s strength and that the Dems are in horrible, horrible trouble.
