Balderdash. The base likes the President. The base knows what's important. Make no mistake: their loyalty lies with the President. And Sessions wasn't thrown under the bus. If he were, he'd already be gone. This President speaks his mind with incredible candor, and people had better get used to it.
Indeed, much of the base was similarly upset with AG Sessions' recusal—wherein he didn't even consult his own President beforehand! That was a yuge mistake...
Listen to Sessions PRAISE Rosenstein as a “GOOD GUY”, and tell how he “really runs the whole DOJ”.
I am sitting here stunned. I think we’ve been had.
