Today's WH Press Conference is a hour past starting time...

Perhaps an issue with how to respond to Congressional rejection of his wiretapping allegations?

Or collapse of support for Obamacare repeal and replace?

Or Republican opposition to the WHite House Budget?

Or Republican reluctance to support the Mexico wall?

Or the ruling against his new immigration ban?

Or.....

Remember the guy on Ed Sullivan who would spin plates on long dowel sticks? A few would get wobbly and there would be much racing back and forth to keep them all spinning without clattering to the floor to break in a million pieces.

That is what I suspect is going on behind the scenes in the White House.....the racing back and forth trying to figure out how to keep those plates spinning.
