20. Rick wrote a book you can get from the public library: "Everything Trump Touches Dies"...

Sun Sep 8, 2019, 05:26 PM

Sep 2019

He covers some of his extensive history as a GOP apparatchik in the beginning , why he thinks Hillary lost (ouch), and why he thinks Trump is appalling and wrecking the country.

But where he really excels is his description of how the hopeful and deluded crash and burn when they join this administration, and how the formerly well-respected and deluded likewise crash and burn. Try not to spit your drink on the pages of the book.
