(3,182 posts)Seriously, Josh at Talking Points Memo wrote yesterday that this could be nothing BUT a disaster for Trump.
It was a completely idiotic move on Trump's part. Nothing good could come of this meeting.
From Josh:
Again, when you're in a campaign under constant scrutiny you do your best to control every situation, reduce the risk of unpredictable, embarrassing or damaging events. You try not to cede control to others. You especially try not to cede near total control to someone who has every interest in the world in harming you. The maximal version of that 'big thing you're not supposed to do' is precisely what it looks like Trump is doing.
