Bossert, back from a trip to Puerto Rico earlier in the week, says it's "still an urgent situation," but that the administration has "a strong ground game in place on the island with military leadership":

It's not about helping the people of Puerto Rico, it's about how you look when you seem to be helping the people of Puerto Rico.
If it doesnt make a good reality tv show, it's not worth the effort, it doesn't really exist.
