Andy Borowitz: Republicans to Pull Money From Trump Ads and Spend It On Alcohol

Andy Borowitz in the New Yorker: Republicans to Pull Money From Trump Ads and Spend It On Alcohol:

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it “the best use of our resources at this time,” the Republican National Committee has decided to pull money originally earmarked for Trump campaign ads and spend it on alcohol instead.

According to the R.N.C. chairman, Reince Priebus, the decision to reallocate the funds from television advertising to alcoholic beverages came after a careful review of the polling in crucial battleground states.

“With about seventy days to go until the election, we had to consider what was the optimal way for us to get through those seventy days,” he said. “We are confident that we have found that way.”

“The decision was unanimous,” he added.

Finally, the Trump campaign is getting it together; betcha, they'll have one helluva hangover though!!!!
