Wow does Rachel Maddow have egg on her face, which may or may not be an improvement, but still, she completely embarrassed herself by bragging about a big ol’scoop, and then letting Trump trip her up on it. br br And not only that, but even her liberal buddies in the biased mainstream media say it’s a “nothingburger” – here’s Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post: br br In short: We didn’t learn anything we don’t already know about Trump.
