    If he was simply alerting the guy that things would change, I don't see that as treason. The new POTUS can make or influence his own policies, right? Don't get me wrong. It's amazing to me that the GOP is palling around with terrorists from Russia and that is frightening. Would be interested in treason explanation.

    Eh, who cares? We're in a post-factual world now. People are talking.

    I, sadly, could see that too, or at least find it more plausible than I would like (anything over 0%). Similar to the long-held theory that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance but didn't stop it because he felt it was necessary to wake the country up and get them into the war. Historians don't buy it, but it wasn't some super-fringe viewpoint.

    Trump will have a number of Rasputins whispering in his ear over the next four to eight years. I don't think he'll stick with just one. His attention span is too short and his views will change with the wind. The question is who he turns to when he tires of Bannon?

    Press secretary McCarthy strikes again: "The fact that we had to get to the point where the vice president had to be pulled in to overcome the Democrats’ historic and partisan logjam of the president’s qualified nominee,” Spicer said, “is another glaring reminder of the unprecedented obstruction that Senate Democrats have engaged in throughout this process.”
    So the GOP confirmed Merrill Garland? Wow. "Unprecedented" is comical.

    He continued: “The American people sent a strong message when they elected President Trump in November."

    Yes. The people in aggregate sent the message that they preferred the other candidate.
