OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Rep. Don Bacon, who did not seek re-election for what could have been his sixth term for Nebraska, was asked Tuesday if he was preparing for a run for the presidency.

He replied that he has a speech at the National Press Club next week.

“I’m not announcing for president, but I want to lay out an agenda for America,” Bacon said. “It’s more about ideas and the principles that I think we need.”

Bacon said he would be happy if someone else took up the message.

He has made certain that he's quoted on the local news broadcasts at least a few times each week. This has been going on for months. Almost always, the comments are critical of the Trump administration. He's not especially popular around here among GOP voters.

I want someone to be president who doesn’t want to be president. Like Maximus in Gladiator.

He certainly sounds like one of the Republicans who prefers to criticize President Trump whenever he can ... what a nasty person ...

He said what?

“I’m not naive enough to know it’s very hard to run for president as a U.S. House member,”

Without a name change, he’ll never get the Islamic vote.

But he’s got the heterosexual white male vote wrapped up. He needs to find a running mate named Eggs.

U R funny. He just may be smarter than the rest of us. Continual winner in a swing district who would poke Trump in the eye to placate the left. It’s called throwing them a bone. This time around he had to know he couldn’t win. It’s called reading the tea leaves.

He just may be very smart. Doesn’t mean I’d vote for him.

Sweet Jesus, please, NO!!!

Not Bacon.

What a clueless, arrogant d!ckhead.

I peg his chances of getting the nomination at something very near 0%.
