The strange appearance (of) by WH advisor Stephen Miller on CNN this morning featured him making really odd twitches. This could have been from not properly putting on his microphone pack, subconscious rejection of his entire life, or most likely the positive reinforcement "good boy" zapper being inserted improperly.
Trump was probably locked away in his room devouring his double Filet O Fish Big Mac combo watching and encouraging Miller when he sticks to his damage control offensive. "Button Boy" ( he loves buttons) zapped Miller every time he thought his dead doll eyed lackey scored a point. Frankly it came off as "Westworld" run by Howard Hughes, the latter years.
They just can't get anything right.
12:35. BTW - After the commercial - Tapper said "Welcome back to CNN and planet Earth"

(3,515 posts)Miller presents Trump as the champion of the forgotten working person even though the Republican Party is actually the party of the well remembered corporate persona. The tax bill is the best proof of that fact.
We need to get a Congress that truly represents working people and propose legislation like Medicare for all and more funding for public education as well as for job training programs for the jobs of the 21st century and show the Trump/Miller lies about representing working people for what they are.
Democrats need to be fearless in representing the interests and hopes and dreams of American workers. We have not been that in the recent past, and that is why Trump voters whose interests align with the FDR Democrats voted for Trump.
With Miller at his side, Trump will not be able to compromise with Democrats in Congress. And when voters see the unwillingness to compromise on issues that will benefit most Americans, Trump and Miller will be defeated. As will the hypocritical, insincere Republican hype that appeals to working Americans.

After graduating from college, Miller worked as a press secretary for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Congressman John Shadegg, both members of the Republican Party.[23] Miller started working for Alabama Senator and future Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2009,[23] rising to the position of communications director.[9] In the 113th Congress, Miller played a major role in defeating the bi-partisan Gang of Eight's proposed immigration reform bill.[9][23] As part of his role as communications director, Miller was responsible for writing many of the speeches Sessions gave about the bill.[24] Miller and Sessions developed what Miller describes as "nation-state populism," a response to globalization and immigration that would strongly influence Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. Miller also worked on Dave Brat's successful 2014 House campaign, which unseated Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor.[9]
In January 2016, Miller joined Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign as a senior policy adviser.[23] Starting in March 2016, Miller frequently spoke on behalf of the Trump campaign, serving as a "warm-up act" for Trump.[9] Miller wrote the speech Trump gave at the 2016 Republican National Convention.[15] In August 2016, Miller was named as the head of Trump's economic policy team.[25]

(182,949 posts)I remember reading a story a year ago in which Hill stafffers were saying to each other "Have you SEEN what he wrote at Duke???"
Rove created these types and the necessity for them to prove their allegiance by being more outrageous than the one next to them.
