    lmao, i love republican high office aspirants’ book titles.

    • Mitt Romney with No Apology: The Case for American Greatness
    • Sarah Palin with Going Rogue: An American Life
    • Mike Pence with So Help Me God

    the book title, telling the anecdote about blowing away your puppy and then doubling down on it when the reaction is bad. fuckin’ A

    NO GOING BACK
