Fallout Now Hitting Capitol Hill


February 15, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Playbook: “Setting aside the whole Russia question, President Trump has another huge problem: He’s quickly infuriating allies on Capitol Hill. They are asking one simple question: Will Trump professionalize his operation, by bringing in — or empowering — someone who understands how to navigate the city? Or will the White House continue to sputter down this path, leaving would-be allies on Capitol Hill furious and unable to defend a president whose aides mislead the public and top figures in the administration.”

“All of these distractions make it so much more difficult for the White House to conduct legitimate business on the Hill. This is no longer cable TV missteps or an adviser saying something silly.”

WTF. They knew what they were getting and went along anyway figuring he would sign all their crap into law. They didn't think they would be blamed for anything but now that that pipe dream has flown away, the scramble is on.
