I watched the presidential debate the other night and went to bed aghast that the future President of the United States may be elected based on — wait for it — a candidate’s golf handicap.
“I’m a six or an eight. I used to be really good and I turned down the Naval Academy,” sayeth Joe. “I’m a two and won several club championships,” said Don. Total nonsense.

Chastened as I am about the shortage of common sense in New York, I am inclined to believe the judge plays out the entire Get Trump string and gives him a stint in Rikers.
