Got home 9:00 L.A. Time tonight..

Watching Anderson Cooper tonight. Trump surrogate, member of congress when defending Donald, stated Adam Schiff, is full of Schiff. Like a 10 yr. old in grade school...

Anderson continued the conversation w/o ever questioning The Repuke's sense of professionalism!

I get it, but still Anderson, You can't let politicians get away with that shit.

Anderson let that slip by......he is not the journalist I thought he once was..he doesn't ask the follow-up questions like a TRUE journalist would. He has gone soft.

Trump's juvenile behaviour has now infiltrated his flunkies.

It's like high school - when someone designated as "cool" acts a certain way, and his wannabe friends mimic that behaviour in hopes of an invite to sit at the "cool table" in the cafeteria.

I liked Cooper's response - which was to ignore the remark as being too childish to even acknowledge, no less comment on. The fact that the Repub (can't remember his name) didn't get the attention he thought that comment would spark made it all the more obvious how stupid a move it was to have said it.

And I'd bet anything that the Repub in question was absolutely giddy about having come up with that dud of a dinger - probably practiced it in front of a mirror all day, asked his wife two dozen times if she thought it was brilliant.

but I was still disappointed when he did not respond. Sometimes you have to confront the tRump flunkies. I think down the road the retuhgs are going to be caught in their own net.

There are times when you have to confront the flunkies - this was not one of those times.

The Repub wanted attention for that remark - Cooper didn't give it to him. Sometimes just moving on is the best revenge.

Please Congressman not on this show... Would have been perfect..

By the way 95% of What Trump states during his day is childish name calling..Should we ignore?

They're all starting to blend together now.

It's becoming impossible to distinguish between those who have their lips glued to his ear, chanting "You're the bestest prezident evah!" and those who have their lips glued to his ass.
