The President knew nothing of what was happeneing in the Senate this am...when he mentioned the judges. The Prez is about 25 miles away from me. I had two jobs in the Town where he is but rescheduled them to Thursday.
Oh, come on. I guarantee you he knows far more than we do.
A fight like this is like an iceberg. 99% of what is happening is under the surface.
And politically, the President has submarines...if you know what I mean...
He knows damned well what is actually happening in the Senate.
The real question is, does he have a clue what this is doing to the Republican Party base. Read a certain way, his 'let's move along' comment could possibly suggest a certain amount of misunderstanding of that...
