Everything Trump Touches Dies-on sale today. This should be good!

This sounds like exactly the book we need right now. I’ve followed Rick Wilson on Twitter for a while and he is out for blood. And he’s optimistic we’ll get beyond this. That he’s a Republican (and a founder of the Never Trumpers) is lagniappe.

And Spanky never touches him. That alone I find interesting. Off to buy a book.

I'm about halfway through so far. Wilson is still a conservative of the old school, and he doesn't have a lot of good things to say about either Hillary or Obama, but those were based on political disagreements (and he thinks Hillary was a poor candidate who ran a lousy campaign). I don't agree with his ideology, but his observations about Trump, and even more so about the people who support and enable him, are right on, and very funny.
