Krauthammer: Comey Firing Doesn’t Help Trump with Congress

‘It doesn’t help with people he needs help with, which is Congress’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
KRAUTHAMMER: "I agree it's in-your-face and perhaps it stirs up the base because it reinforces the image of trump as a fearless guy who will show himself with the Russians even a day after that. But it doesn't help with people he needs help with, which is Congress. His presidency hinges on the economy improving in on health care working out. For that he needs the Congress and I think Steve is right that what this has done, it has sort of reversed all the momentum he had. He now has to go back to health care. He now has to go back to get help on tax reform. He's not going to get any of that from Democrats who might've been tempted to cooperate on tax reform. They are not going to play ball at all. They're going to sit in the sandbox and throw sand."
