So Donald isn't running for president after all. SURPRISE SURPRISE! A lot of people believed it would be so. The polls wouldn't have put him at/near the top of the heap otherwise. It's obvious to me why he was going to say no all along....
It's not the fact that this was all really about pumping up his show.
It's not the fact that this isn't the first time he has strung the country along like this. It's not the fact that he can't take a joke even as he continues to expects the country to take him. It's not the fact that the Obama birth certificate issue, the gravy that hid the way he really tastes, was more or less over. It's not the fact that his wife can't be hot, first lady, and a trophy wife...that's like walking, chewing gum, and counting out her breasts. That's a lot of pressure for a Manhattan socialite. It's not even that he blew himself up last month in Las Vegas giving a speech that was little more than an f-bomb laced tirade confused for a tribute to Rahm Emanuel.
He had a lot of support to run, but I don't think he could get it from his loudest advocate, who is simultaneously his greatest asset and weakness.
I think Donald realized it wouldn't hold firm to the rigors of a national campaign....having to live in a campaign bus, shake hands with it's fans, kiss babies, bite it's tongue around bald people....
Truth be told, I don't think we would be able to take it either.
How about he got a BC that was still fake? Presidential timber.
Would have to give up too much money to run. Plus, this BC crap was Trump working for obama.
Huckabee: All the factors say “yes”. But my heart, and my salary working for Fox, says “no”.
Personally I think it’s the thin-skin. I was hoping that he would do more damage to Øbozo before he bowed out but he folded like a cheap suit.
IHe probably dropped out due to his germ phobia. Shaking hands and pressing the flesh turned his stomach to run.
Not to mention the several $Million$ he gets PER EPISODE on his TV show, and that the network said they’d continue without him if he ran for POTUS.
Also, my suspiscious mind tells me that all that ruckus about the BC was actually a ruse which allowed BHO to release that phony-baloney fake Long Form BC which was lauded by the lapdogs in the MSM as equal to the original copy of the Magna Charta! And once THAT was accomplished, The Donald gave the profanity-vulgarity laced recital in Vegas as his swansong! He never intended to run!
The biggest fly in the ointment was the release of his finances. The liberals would have scrutinized them closely, and looked for every reason to file lawsuits or bring criminal charges. It would have ruined his business and his life. As it is now, the Rats are still going to try to get even with him for questioning Obama. He’ll have to make big donations to the Dems to stop the harassment.
