Right. The Heritage Foundation and other orgs buy up all the books. yardwork May 27 #5

Did that happen with the books that were negative about Trump? Kaleva May 27 #7

Who said sales are collapsing? SocialDemocrat61 May 27 #14

I read it here a few days ago Polybius May 27 #16

That article doesn't mention sales. sl8 May 27 #17

So you didn't read the article. SocialDemocrat61 May 27 #18

Or maybe PoliticsUSA shouldn't create articles with misleading headlines Polybius May 27 #24

LOL themaguffin May 27 #26

The problem is politicsUSA's headline is blatantly misleading fujiyamasan May 27 #27

The headline said nothing about sales either SocialDemocrat61 May 27 #35

So then , where in my OP did I claim DUers were saying that sales were tanking? Kaleva May 27 #52

Never said you did SocialDemocrat61 May 27 #53

Then why ask me about something I didn't say? Kaleva Wednesday #72

You said "sales aren't collapsing" SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #75
