Andrew Egger: GOP Hoping Trump Doesn’t Create a Large News Cycle Before Midterms by Firing Sessions

EXCERPT:

EGGER: "When Sullivan says politically unwise he is not necessarily talking about for President’s Trump own political fortunes, because you know, obviously firing Jeff Sessions would be a drastic step. But President Trump is already you know, such a polarizing figure it is not necessarily going to win him a bunch of new fans or a bunch of new detractors. But that's not necessarily true for Congressional Republicans who are facing like you say, a tough uphill climb in these mid-terms elections this November. They are trying to go back to their districts and essentially say look, we’re running on tax cuts, we're running on a strong economy, deregulation, conservative majority on the Supreme Court. And you know, the sort of cringing away from any mention of Robert Mueller, the Russia investigation and anything like that. They are certainly  hoping that Trump doesn’t create a large new news cycle just in these months leading up to that with an explosive move like firing Jeff Sessions."
