Juan Williams: Trump Rally Is ‘An Opportunity’ To Let Base Know He’s Still in the Game

‘The big issue for him is he doesn’t have a political agenda at the moment’

EXCERPT:

WILLIAMS: "I think the President uses these rallies to remind people that he’s the dominant figure in the Republican Party. Now, remember, he has no Twitter, he has no Facebook, he’s not on TV very much, he has no White House pulpit or staff to help him, so I think this is an opportunity to really say he’s still in the game to the base, he uses it to attack people who have, you know, opposed him politically, including Republicans, endorsing primary opponents of people who have challenged him. And he goes after the Republican leadership in Congress pretty frequently as well. The big issue for him is he doesn’t have a political agenda at the moment. There’s no sense of priorities or plan, so it’s a little bit like a rerun, you know, it’s like a cast reunion at the state fairground. And it’s very entertaining and he still draws a crowd, no question."
