I’m guessing they think that the Cruz Campaign, his SuperPac and/or wealthy donors are buying up the book in bulk quantities to try to get it onto the list.

For reference, this is exactly what Joe Kennedy Sr. did with JFK’s books, including Profiles in Courage. But it’s still considered to have been a best seller ...

Yeah, “shifty” is exactly the word I was looking for.

Not surprised. They aren’t referred to as the New York Slimes for nothing! Rag is goin’ down....

Pay no attention to that east coast, leftist rag’s little list. Just look at sales on Amazon and other sites that base their ranking on the numbers. The Times is last century’s news. It’s wholly irrelevant.

What they mean is they hate Ted Cruz and wouldn’t put him on the best sellers list if he was selling a million copies a day.

So the liberal NY Times have this complicated algorithm to determine best sellers which results in the most conservative presidential candidates’ book not making the list despite sales which would otherwise qualify it?

What are the odds! An amazing coincidence!

I understand that if they DID simply go by numbers, the Bible would be number one every single week. So their criteria must specifically take that one out.
