He will probably call Fox News to put the record straight and inadvertently admit to all kinds of stuff.

It would be historic. We are talking about a sitting President possibly live tweeting during congressional testimony. As disgusting as it is, it's kind of newsworthy.

I don't get that. I would flat out break into the Comey testimony for that.

I would think it would be pretty hysterical in a sad way. Bloated Don the Con is going to blow up twitter-sphere tomorrow.... or sooner.

Not for the salaciousness (though I'm human) but to see in real time how his mind is working and what craziness in the White House looks like. No editing, no filtering, no time for anyone to spin. They like him for the fact he goes straight to the people? Great. Let him rip.

I think his bald face hanging out there is good for us. It's going to take some tough going to get rid of him, and get rid of him we should.

It was laughable that he could win either the nomination or the Presidency. Logically, he should have lost 70-30.

Exposure has never hurt Trump....it only helps him.
