In one recent meeting, Epshteyn faced difficult questions about the immigration ban — and why Capitol Hill leaders weren't consulted on the text. In another meeting, he ended it abruptly after "maybe five minutes," a source said. His appearance has sparked jokes on the Hill, with aides "trying to figure out who this guy is, and why he's speaking for them," according to one senior GOP aide. Epshteyn went back to the House Monday afternoon.

During Monday’s morning meeting, Conway, multiple sources said, shrugged off the concerns from thousands of people jamming phone lines critical of Trump's Cabinet nominees, explaining that she's more worried about her own "RPI" or "Real Person Impact" meter. "She basically said the people jamming up the phones don't matter to this White House," the communications director continued. "That this administration just cares about what matters to 'real people.'"

he meeting, which is a weekly gathering and typically lasts 15-20 minutes, ended abruptly moments later after another staffer asked Conway whether she'd seen "Saturday Night Live's" lampooning of White House press secretary Sean Spicer over the weekend. Asked whether she'd laughed at the portrayal, Conway's face "turned to stone," according to another source in the room. A senior White House official said Conway didn't comment on the "SNL" video but that her face didn't turn to stone. "They definitely did not find it funny," the source said. "And then they walked out."

Last week, on an internal listserv for House legislative directors, Democratic staffers made fun of the inability to reach anyone on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. “I don’t think they knew they had to hire a legislative affairs staff. Maybe he can sign another EO appointing staff?” wrote Matthew Herrmann, chief of staff to Rep. Madeleine Bordallo (D-Guam). On a thread about a lawmaker wanting to send a letter to the White House, Alejandro Renteria, a legislative director for freshman California Rep. Lou Correa, a moderate Democrat, chimed in, “A White House representative told me they do not have staff for this purpose and recommended to send the letter via snail mail.”

15. No staff to answer to Democrats, to be precise.

The White House does. not. care.

And communication with the GOP is done through Pence.

16. Wow!

"She basically said the people jamming up the phones don't matter to this White House," the communications director continued. "That this administration just cares about what matters to 'real people.'"

The disses from Trump and the GOP just keep coming! Can you IMAGINE the butthurt if a Democrat said that Reps were not 'real people'. Hey, does that mean all of us 'imaginary people' don't have to pay taxes anymore? YES!

Conway and the GOP are so out of touch. They sit around in the dark in their little White House bunker because they can't figure out how to turn on the lights with their Beloved Leader tweeting deranged insults and lies in the other room insted of attending security briefings. What can you expect?

17. Most interesting thing is how scared Reps/Sens are

of the onslaught of calls, letters, postcards, emails and want the WH to give them cover. If they get more scared of their constituents than they are of Trump, they'll dump him in a hurry.
