Hey, I don't give a damn about the RINOs either. But those RINOs are still in control of committees and will get my justices confirmed. Reaching out to S/P accomplishes what?
"Well, maybe I can cut a deal. A beautiful deal. Just like my beautiful wall. On getting mainstream moderate centrist (puke) justices confirmed."
It remains to be seen whether Trump was yielding to the temptation of getting a little comeuppance, giving the GOP leadership the impression he might be a slightly crazy or the Democrat a lot of conservatives feared, wants the adoration of the Eastern press (as some #nevertrump conservatives have tweeted) or was doing something else altogether.
Superficially, it worries me, because like you, I see no upside to it. The worst possible interpetation is that he let his emotions get the better of him for the sake of hurting the GOPe. The best, which I'm inclined to wait and see about, is that this is a tactical move that I can't yet fathom. His tweets in re: DACA have NOT been encouraging.
