Lanhee Chen on Trump’s Tweets: ‘To Expect Something Else Is Insanity’

‘I think we have seen this sort of behavior over and over and over again’

EXCERPT:

CHEN: "And I think we have seen this sort of behavior over and over and over again. To expect something else is insanity, I really think. So, what it comes down to in my mind is the President’s ability to advance the conservative agenda. And is that going to be affected? Certainly, health care is the first salvo in all of that. If they can’t get health care done, what’s going to happen to tax reform, what happens to infrastructure, what happens to immigration, all these issues down the line? And, ultimately, the first referendum on the President, the first real referendum on the President, will happen next November. And we will have to see whether there’s a diminished ability then for the President to continue to make his case, to continue to get away with what he’s doing, in essence, if Republicans cannot move an agenda."
