the best distillation of media-Trump relationship will be when Kavanaugh skates through confirmation while an Omarosa tape about how many diet Cokes the president consumed is studied like the Zapruder film

1. Yes. It's all distraction, and attention. Hopefully something

here or there might finally offend a Democrat/left-leaner into voting in 2018 who did not in 2016.

Otherwise, Trump himself is unembarrassable and needs to distract from the validity of his legal problems. He's also like children who prefer unpleasant attention to none at all and feeds off all the attention any and every disgusting detail can generate.

As for his base, he long ago blasted every more and moral they ever claimed and they dumped their vaunted values and kept him. Newman's book is practically published to order to stoke the loyalty of those red in tooth and nail.
