The Political Page

The media's narrative is starting to shift. There is much more positive news regarding Trump. It is quite remarkable. Even MSNBC Morning Joe had positive things to say about the Trump election. The most interesting thing said: a Hillary loss means they won't be grooming Chelsea to run for Congress using the White House as the vehicle. The Trump election has pretty stomped on those plans. Also, this: this morning on MSNBC Morning Joe, the two anchors were very, very complimentary on last Saturday's SNL. They thought the opening was excellent and that the entire SNL was funnier and more uplifting.
