He might do it in Twitter. Not sure though what happens.

Trump is not about republicans vs. democrats. It is something the entire globe cannot truly comprehend. Absurdly, he often hurts himself with his conduct, without gaining anything. Like in the tax returns saga. WHAT DID HE WIN LETTING THE MEDIA DISCLOSE IT? More years will probably be leaked, until his-entire tax history is made public. Then what?

Just looked it up myself ... and this was my facial expression ->

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™
This is really, really bad news for Trump. If Rasmussen has his approval rating at 45% the real number is likely to be under 40%. If this continues I think the Democrats will almost certainly retake the House and could, could possibly even retake the Senate ... in a year that they were expected to be steamrolled.

The leadership of the GOP have got to be ready to hang themselves. They had the chance to regain the WH, Senate, and Congress, and a lot of State positions, but they had one problem that they were not able to take care of. That was how to get Donald Trump off the ticket.

All of them knew he was a loose cannon and had suspected mental issues, but they were forced into accepting him as their man because of the large number of voters he somehow attracted. Now, with the chaos he has created in the WH, they see their popularity falling. They realize that next election they are going to have a hard time repairing the damage he has caused, and they still are not sure how to get him out of there and put someone more experienced and more stable in that seat.

It looks like the investigations and hearings that will be going on over the next few weeks might provide a solution, assuming that very damaging evidence if found linking Putin to Trump or his camp. It will be very interesting to see how this all shakes out.

Considering that so far, they have found zero evidence, they have a long way to go before getting to that point.

The only way out is to cut a deal and throw Kellyanne and Bannon under the bus. Trump is looking either pretty dumb or pretty gullible right about now. Not a good look for a president.

Oh, look... several other sources are also quoting sessions on what he said... so, what is the bias? It certainly looks like CNN was just reporting some news. Like, maybe they were quoting what he said at a news conference. I think the bias is in the eye of the beholder on this one.

WFIN | AG Jeff Sessions sees no reason to believe Trump wiretap claim

"Well look, my answer is no," Sessions said at a news conference when asked if he had ever led Trump to believe he was being surveilled by the Obama administration.

I agree, it will be.
