It’s Almost As Though The Whole Thing Were Orchestrated

Roger Simon: That Fluid On Your Desk May Have Once Been Coffee

by Smitty Roger Simon at PJ Media offers three reasons Trump won’t go independent. 3. Trump doesn’t like to lose — and he would. Recalls a mildly vulgar joke (to which the title alludes).
