I suspect that this whole thing was designed to distract from the implementation of the travel ban which occurred last night. Instead of spending all day at airports ginning up opposition and listening to travelers, the press spend the whole day asking Republican Congress people their reaction to Trump.
They would say that despite the FBI misconduct Hillary is very qualified because she is a woman and then apologize that they were not aborted before birth.
No matter what the result, there will be a new conservative online network emerging from 2016. I just hope they don’t invite the NeverTrumpers to the party.
Any article that quotes Steve Schmidt is a complete throwaway. He did a terrible job with the McCain campaign and has spent the last eight years being the NBC in house Republican critic.
