Schiff: Trump needs 'more adults in the room'

The White House staff shakeup must continue, California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday.

The comments from the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee on CNN's "State of the Union" came after the exit of chief White House strategist Steve Bannon on Friday and the departure of several other senior staff. Democrats continue to call for President Donald Trump to remove others, including Stephen Miller as senior adviser and Sebastian Gorka as deputy assistant.

"We need the very best people around him in the White House," Schiff said of Trump. "And that means not people like Bannon, not people like Miller, not people like Gorka, but rather some more adults in the room."

I guess the purpose of having adults is to minimize the BS that is constantly being spewed by WH operatives and hopefully focus on more positive and good values of America -- stop trying to destroy it. Kinda hard to get a grip on Trump's madness but at least they wouldn't feed into his negative hateful narratives. Not much more you can do with an imbecile.
