Get An Editor, Donald

Update: another tweet from a presidential candidate:




IMO, anyone who will take voting advice from Barbara Bush is probably already in Jeb!'s corner. I can't imagine this will change anyone's mind and Donald J. Trump is already sneering about Jeb's "mommy."

Original post:



For all of you non-words geeks, "it's" is a contraction of "it is." (The apostrophe indicates that a letter is missing.) When "its" is used as a possessive, no apostrophe is needed. So what The Donald meant to say is:

National Review is a failing publication that has lost its way. Its circulation is way down w its influence being at an all time low. Sad."

Note that he did get the third "its" write. Oops, I mean right. #EditorsAreImportant
