The Dworkin Report - This is a Major Loss for Donald

Let’s just take a moment and celebrate the fact that, after massive public pressure, Matt Gaetz is no longer the nominee for Attorney General. Pat yourself on the back. Take a bow. You helped make it a reality.

Having faced Gaetz many times before, I know just how dangerous he truly is. Matt is a lawless monster who would’ve upended the Department of Justice. But now, that’s not gonna happen.

Over the last 8 years of fighting Trump, I’ve learned that when Donald does something horrible, the response has to be rapid and overwhelming. Which is exactly what we did with his outrageous AG pick.

After Gaetz was picked 9 days ago, we immediately got to work making countless phone calls, and sending thousands of letters to Congress.

Gaetz is a 'bomb-thrower'... At least Bondi is an State AG and former prosecutor.

The anchoring effect, also known as anchor bias, is a psychological phenomenon in which people rely too heavily on the first piece of information they hear.

In other words, if you hear a certain fact or number (the “anchor”), it can strongly influence your subsequent judgments or decisions, explains Haley Hicks, a licensed clinical social worker in Dallas, TX.
