Is the party of Donald Trump morphing into the party of Steve Bannon and Kid Rock? President Trump is now seeking a bipartisan path toward tax reform, and is also meeting today with Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., in an attempt to heal some Charlottesville damage. But Trumpian forces are massing in unexpected ways. Bannon's vow to seek out primary challengers against Republican lawmakers, along with his critique of Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, has roiled congressional races during recruitment and retirement season. Kid Rock is drawing protests at his concerts, including a hyped appearance in Detroit last night where he was introduced as the next senator from Michigan and where he declared, "Whatever you have between your legs should determine the bathroom that you use." And in Alabama, the final two weeks in the Senate GOP primary could see Trump staying out, so as not to get embarrassed in seeing Roy Moore defeat Sen. Luther Strange. Trump has struggled to show he can control himself in office. Controlling Trumpism may be an even more impossible task.
CALIFORNIA PUSHING FOR CHANGE
California lawmakers are poised to make political waves this week. The state legislature is expected to vote on a bill to move up its presidential primary from the end of June to the first Tuesday in March, potentially super-duper-sizing the next Super Tuesday. The decision could make a big difference in how candidates spend their time and money in 2020, and could boost candidates who hail from the state.. One in eight Americans lives in California, and voters there say their size and diversity leaves them deserving a bigger say. In 2016, the state was basically an afterthought by the time California voters got their chance. The state can be tough on candidates, though, especially for start-up campaigns short on cash. The media markets are expensive, and the sprawling geography makes person-to-person interaction hard.
HERE COMES HILLARY
High-profile interviews, a national book tour…if you didn't know it, you'd think Hillary Clinton is running for something. Clinton's new book, "What Happened," is meant to explore the many theories posited about why she did not win the White House. But it also re-opens a number of conversations Democrats are not exactly itching to revisit. Her sharp criticism of Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom she says did "lasting damage" to her campaign, comes just as Sanders is set to unveil a new health care plan that has growing support among Senate Democrats. Clinton's book tour doesn't kick off until next week, but it includes stops in Wisconsin and Michigan, states she was chastised for not visiting during the general election campaign. The tour also comes as President Trump readies a bipartisan push for tax reform, inviting three moderate Democratic senators -- Indiana's Joe Donnelly, North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp and West Virginia's Joe Manchin -- to the White House Tuesday for dinner to discuss the issue. The White House's readiness to take on Clinton for – irony alert – "false and reckless attacks" is just one indication of what her fight ahead may look like.
