Kellyanne Conway was on Meet The Press yesterday and the entire discussion was about crowd size. Chuck Todd could have grilled her on any number of substantial issues - TPP, DeVos, Obamacare changes - but instead he used that valuable time on trivia. Chuck just couldn't help himself.<br /><br />This is how Donald Trump controls the narrative.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452330026472110482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-40297764696898305522017-01-22T20:02:40.928-05:002017-01-22T20:02:40.928-05:00newspeak anyonenewspeak anyoneHistory Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03528484603773180804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-67636443917168996252017-01-22T18:32:32.552-05:002017-01-22T18:32:32.552-05:00I don't care about Trump lying.

It's like when your toddler swears he didn't eat that chocolate ice cream, which just happens to be smeared around his face. Most politicians are like junior high kids who have learned to lie with such a flair that it can be nigh impossible to tell what the truth even is. Frankly, I find it refreshing.<br /><br />Anyway, I think we can just assume from here on out that it's all lies, so let's stop getting distracted by every one of them and let's focus on the issues. As you said a column or two ago, what do we want? Let's work toward that.Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-70835690357041255142017-01-22T16:51:16.331-05:002017-01-22T16:51:16.331-05:00https://mobile.twitter.com/rascouet/status/8230355...https://mobile.twitter.com/rascouet/status/823035518313267202/photo/1<br /><br />This link is to a memo written by a former white house staffer.
