"Only Ron DeSanctimonious can make a Las Vegas trip depressing. Fresh off his spanking on CNN and a round of news stories about donors ditching his flailing campaign, DeSanctus is now headed to Sin City in a desperate attempt to resuscitate his candidacy, and he’s willing to do anything for cash. Maybe Ron should consider visiting a smoke shop and buy some edibles to take the stress away, something Jeff Roe should know about since he’s lobbying for marijuana legalization in Iowa. What happens in Vegas, usually stays in Vegas. But when Ron has gone full Never Trump to impress the Lincoln Project crowd, he’ll never be able to live it down."
