As the Iowa caucus results rolled in Monday night, the wheels were surely turning in the minds of editors at the New York Daily News. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump — the local entry and a favorite tabloid target — was losing to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Which way to go with Tuesday's cover?
There were so many options. "Iowans fire The Donald"? Nah. A "you're fired" joke is too predictable. "Trump is a loser?" It would've just been white noise. Too many people were already turning Trump's favorite insult around on Twitter.
Instead, the Daily News went with a running theme: "Dead clown walking" — a sequel to "Clown runs for prez" (June 17) and "Insane clown posse" (Jan. 21). Actually, it goes back further than that — to "Sideshow Don" (April 11, 2011), when Trump was toying with the idea of a 2012 White House bid.

Unless all the Wall Street banks he owes money to come calling, he’ll still be able to pay enough internet trolls, ‘conservative’ websites, and buy enough politicians to stay in the race.

There’s needs to be more losses and more decisive losses before a total meltdown.

Daily News loved Trump when he attacked Ted Cruz.
Trumpies loved them some Daily News just a few weeks ago.
Remember those covers?
Oh my.

The daily news is a leftist rag written for barely-literate new yorkers. Sometimes it gets it right.

The New York Daily News obviously is making a play to increase its abysmal circulation with a series of sensational liberal, or at least conservative/Republican-slamming headlines. Let’s see if NYC Libs want a red meat Lib tabloid that simply screams F.U. Conservatives every day.

The Washington Post is writing articles about what the NY Daily News thinks of politics. Drink that in for a moment.

Well, since an inordinate amount of his company's valuation is due to his name brand, once his creditors figure out he has already turned his business over to junior, his valuation is going to drop.
Creditors don't like it when your valuation drops.
