The Bill Press Show

Thought-provoking insights from the left side of the political aisle.

Donald Ducks Out

May 17, 2011

Filed Under: BILL'S BLOG

They’re dropping like flies!

First, Haley Barbour. Then, Mike Huckabee. Now, Donald Trump. Pretty soon there’ll be more Republicans not running for president than running.

I’m especially sad to see Trump drop out. It just won’t be so much fun without him. No more comb-over jokes. No more F-bombs in speeches. By the way, didn’t he promise to spend $600 million of his money, running for president? What happened? Did his check bounce?

And, without The Donald, who’s going to keep the birth certificate issue alive? Or who’s going to get Obama’s college grades? Not Newt. Not Mitt. Not TPaw.

But, of course, as disappointed as we are, we all know why Trump and Haley and the Huckster dropped out of the race for president. Because they’re smarter than all the rest.

They know the economy’s coming back, under Obamanomics.

They know millions and millions of Americans, who could never afford it before, now have health insurance, under Obamacare.

And they know Obama created 1.3 million new jobs in 2010 alone – more than George W. Bush created in 8 years.

In other words, they know that, for any Republican, running against Barack Obama is a losing proposition, and they wanted no part of it.

It won’t be long before Newtie and others learn the same lesson.

That’s my parting shot for today.
