Why Donald Trump decided to support Dr Oz in PA Senate race?

And why Stephen Miller decided to testify before the Committee?

When Miller informed Trump that he had decided to testify before the Committee, Trump attempted to make a power play to keep him from talking. He knew that Miller and Hope Hicks, well-known sycophants, were supporting Dave McCormick for Senate in Pennsylvania. So Trump makes a public declaration that he is supporting Dr Oz in PA.

Miller decides it is in his own best interest to go before the Committee. After all, Jared and Ivanka and Cippolone had already agreed to talk with them. Why should he go broke on legal fees defending Donald Trump?

This is all supposition on my part but I would bet it is very close to what happened.

I was a bit surprised that Miller chose to talk. Although we do not know what he said? I suspect he was a real headache for the Committee for about seven hours.

Money.

Vengeance.

Sex (in years past; these days, who cares?).

In that order.

TFG isn't trying to shape public opinion, he's trying to reflect it (well, what he thinks it is anyway).

Oz is the biggest celeb in the race, ergo he's the most popular, ergo he's gonna win.
