This is news?
If it gets confirmed and the majority of US citizens WAKE UP it sure is! These guys are totally wrapped in their DC insider reality. Let's assume Trump gets the nomination. I don't even want to contemplate the results of the anger if it's stolen from him. Those newer and/or those not politically affiliated voters will be really, really over the establishment. That includes the Sanders voters. They'll vote for Trump for Pres but avoid Republican candidates who've ever sided with with the establishment. So they'll have a Republican Pres they fought against and lost the HOR and US Senate. And Trump can go trolling through the DC garbage and find some items that can be restored.
This could end up being a best-case scenario assuming Trump gets the nomination. It would send the Republican elite running for the hills.
It’s news only that he is openly admitting it.
Rush has predicted this from day one. Mitch and the GOPe will give up the WH as long as they can maintain their comfy status quo.
