Excerpts:
"One might have thought that a rational politician with an experienced communications team would have allowed the SOTU lovefest to endure over several news cycles, but Devin Nunes took care of that. And Trump, of course, is the real source of the stomp-over-myself strategy, for he was the one who insisted on the release of the memo indeed, such a release requires his authorization -- and he could have certainly delayed the timing.
Well have to wait for next week to see how much of Trumps approval gain he gives back by desperately championing this ridiculous gambit and absurdly claiming, as he did this morning, total vindication.
