Meacham: Lawmakers on Board with Trump as Long as Their Own Futures Are OK

‘They are on board for this as long as basically their own futures are okay’

MEACHAM: “Pretty clear that — I haven't seen any reporting on this but the talking points for people going home was to say, 'You are all Kansans. You are all Montanans and everybody should be heard, but...' So there is clearly some recognition that people want to acknowledge the anger and the unease and then try to get into the details. To me anyway, that is a sign that, you know, the national party, which is not the same thing as the Trump White House by any means, recognizes this. One of the things I keep hearing and I’m sure you all do, too, from lawmakers, is they are on board for this as long as basically their own futures are okay.”
