Yesterday, I argued that President Trump had botched the Jeff Sessions situation. One of the main things behind that opinion is the fact that attacking Sessions - rather than simply firing him - would make important congressional allies wonder just what the heck was going on inside the administration. Dan Calabrese made a similar point this morning. If you fire someone for a solid reason, people will accept it. If you decide to torture them in the media, your 'friends' will always be wondering when their turn is coming.
Most of you agreed. Some of you, though, said Trump was going to war with...well...everyone.
While I share your desire to see the swamp drained, I'm also aware that it's incredibly difficult to run a presidency sans political partners. There are people in Congress that Trump needs to keep on his side. ...And it sounds like the Sessions kerfuffle is making them question the President's leadership.
