Apparently only two groups are paying attention to Trump's tweets and chaos...

Democrats and Trump's base. The former are super distressed. The latter love it. According to David Brooks on the Newshour, Republicans in DC aren't paying a lot of attention. Or claim not to be. They seem to have accepted it as the new normal. And before you hate-David-Brooks people dive in, it must be said that Brooks was not happy about this turn of events.

To the extent that this is true, it is more evidence to support Lamb's and Jones' strategies of basically ignoring Trump's shenanigans. Something to think about.

You can bet repubtards in DC are paying f’ing attention as they watch their majorities getting ready to slip away. They pay attention in DC and in their home states.

Brooks analyses are pathetic.
