At some point you have to concern yourself with governing and not campaigning. Hiring guys like Flynn, Bannon, Miller, etc... are total unforced errors. Everyone who has half a brain could see that. You might have to give truth serum Lumpy Hannity for him to admit that, but he would. 25 days in and they cannot go a day without some ridiculous story.

Flynn, though, is the kind of thing that actually hurts him a little bit. He can deal with pretty much everything else. I'm not sure the pile of outrage to date ever reaches critical mass with the silent majority. Even the immigration thing was a move to, ostensibly, protect the US. The Flynn thing, though, is a national security bumble, and folks take notice of that. DJT has some leeway -- certainly more than he has from "The Resistance" on this thread, but he doesn't have that much. And it doesn't take long for a general view to calcify. He's probably 1 or 2 more meaningful fuckups from having that take hold with the portion of the electorate that matters.

Hopefully the end of this train wreck results a thorough discrediting of the Breitbart wing. The whole conceit of these fools with their court jester is that anyone can do the job. The whole Russian thing been obvious since the day Lewandowski was fired, beforehand it was lurking in that shadows. Once they hired Manafort it abandoned all secrecy.
The George W. Bush administration never had this type of bumbling. Heckuva job Brownie looks quaint in comparison.

Conservative editorial cartoon from the Bellsville News-Democrat. I'm willing to concede that conservatives often get a bad rap when it comes to race relations. But I'll submit that cartoons like this add to the narrative.
The cartoon is a take on Norman Rockwell's famous painting of Ruby Bridges integrating the New Orleans school district in 1960...and apparently believes Betsy Devos being briefly harassed by a handful of protesters outside a DC school was a comparable event.

One blow after another...jeez...NY Times dropping a story that says the FBI has records of repeated phone calls made between the Trump campaign/associates and Russian Intelligence officers made during 2016. Stresses that no collusion has been found as of yet but...
Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Carter Page all explicitly named
