BLAME GAME

-

The more they try to blame everything on Donald Trump, or at least deflect the pointing finger away from themselves, the more incoherent they sound, and the more this whole fight is up for grabs.

And you know who “they” are — Hillary, Obama, their assorted allies and, of course, their lapdogs in the mass media.
