Political books have never really sold well, all those NYTimes best sellers are manipulated anyways. Publishers order thousands of copies to pump up sales numbers. The people in charge now are so incompetent they forgot to buy their own books to make themselves look good.

That's gotta be it, right? Are they so high on their own supply they've forgotten how to grift?
