Grassroots marches are sending a message
Trump and his people will be dismissive of the marches today but the professional Republican politicians know damn well that this movement is aimed at them. '18 looms, and they know it.
"Priebus said this isn’t about crowd sizes, but about “honesty in the media.” He said, “We’re not gonna sit around and take it.”
Wallace shot back that where honesty is concerned, Trump said two “flat-out wrong” things. He showed photos from both inaugurations and asked Priebus which one is bigger. Priebus argued that the Trump inauguration one was taken before he started speaking.
Wallace called this “a ridiculous conversation” and took serious issue with Trump’s characterization of how big the crowd was."
If and when they do lose Fox News as their favored organ of agitprop they are screwed.
