Trump Jr. Turmoil, McConnell Delays Recess, Bourgeois Brooks
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America groan over Donald Trump Jr.'s stunningly poor judgment and apparent willingness to seek campaign assistance from a foreign government, while also lamenting the continued media hysteria over these latest revelations. They are wary of Mitch McConnell's decision to delay the traditional August recess, worrying that it might not be very productive and, therefore, more damaging to an already embarrassed GOP. Finally, in a discussion of David Brooks' controversial column about class divisions in America that features a bizarre anecdote about sandwich elitism, Jim admits that he himself is, to quote Shakespeare, "lowly taught, but highly fed."
