Simple way for Americans to understand Theresa May this week

Befuddled by Brexit? You can still appreciate the political choices the UK faced this week.

Imagine if you will, Donald Trump saying, “Okay, I get it, you all think I suck. So I’m going to offer you a deal. Give me 10 billion dollars to find building a wall, and I’ll resign.”

Think about it. It does present something of an interesting choice.

But, they didn’t support her. So, she’s staying. In a complete reversal of ordinary political dynamics.
