Sean Spicer resigns after Anthony Scaramucci takes over as comms dir.

You can't fire me, I quit

Sean Spicer is probably feeling that I'm no longer daily smashing my head into a wall.

This is more and more a one term administration.

I feel sorry for Spicey, he seems a good guy working an impossible job.

Well said. Now we go from Spicey, to the Mooch (his nick since grade school he says)

But the job of explaining Trump is as impossible as ever.

Obama had 5 different communications directors. Let's not get all crazy yet. (Please don't bore us with "but Trump's had 4 already!"). Let's see how long this one lasts.

CNN is trying to spin this like the White House is in disarray, when all it means is just one guy got sick of his job

Rat flees sinking ship.

Believe you misread the situation, the President wanted a loyalist and appointed the same, while Sean Spicer had I believe just reached his limit (the fatal straw).

The President wants a loyalist because everyone else can increasingly see the criminality he's involved with. The the President, "loyalty" means "look the other way when I break the law".

And while you're probably not ready (yet) to admit to the criminality, even you have seen the dereliction of responsibility, for example in utterly failing to provide direction on healthcare.

Toughest job there is. And his was doubly so. I'm glad he got out. He needs a break.

Are you offering odds on longer than the six months Spicer had to endure?

Ask Ari Flether. He has come on to defend him in the past, having to do the exact same thing.

It is the toughest job. Because everyone of them have had to defend the indefensible at some point. Takes a special person. Especially with the entitled WH press corps that exists now.

The problem Fuji is I remember when you hated President Bush (43). My memory and TERB don't reach back that far but I bet you hated President Bush (41) and President Reagan as well.

So I'm not so sure that it is President Trump so much as it is anyone right of center.

Arnold Schwarzenegger said when he ran for governator he was warned beforehand that half the population is gonna love you, and the other half is gonna hate you. There's nothing you can really do about that, you have be thick-skinned about it and just accept it.

I'll bet fuji doesnt even know why he hates Trump, he just does
