All of the replies are, testify, and then we will buy your book, or woman up.

Let the civil war bloodbath between Trump and the Republicans begin!

I hope his book sales tank. Of course, that is, after the initial number one best selling status from bulk buying by his pals.

@AriMelber
Amb.- You may speak anytime regardless of "access" to a Twitter account; you're invited to come join us for an interview (on this show & presumably many others); or you could testify as your colleagues did, while respecting priv issues.

What's the goal of this Twitter routine?
