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 â the local entry and a favorite tabloid target â 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" â a sequel to "Clown runs for prez" (June 17) and "Insane clown posse" (Jan. 21). Actually, it goes back further than that â to "Sideshow Don" (April 11, 2011), when Trump was toying with the idea of a 2012 White House bid.

Capital cronnyism was sent a message from its heartland.
He got one delegate less than Cruz in Iowa.
Delegate count to date: Cruz 8, Trump 7, Rubio 7, Carson 3, Bush 1, Paul 1
“Stick a fork in trump; he peaked too early, will not win N.H...”
I’m no fan of Trump but I’m gonna withhold judgement ‘til after the Granite State has voted. He’s still a viable candidate yet.
They are wrong.
Yup. NH will tell the tale. Trump needs a win there. I believe if he doesn’t get it he will start cutting his losses. But I believe he will get it and SC will be the next big test for him/Cruz Rubio.
Same for you Putin supporters.
“stick a fork in trump; he peaked too early, will not win N.H., and now it is a two-man race between cruz and rubio”
If that’s not sarcasm, then it is just purely retarded.
Next Wednesday we should all call for Cruz to drop out of the race.
You stay classy Cruz supporters.

Too funny.
Trump supporters cawing about a lack of class from others is a bit odd. Perhaps if your candidate would demonstrate some, he’d get some in return.
Not too likely on either count.
Time to adjust the system to be more equitable. >$1000's of dollars per vote average? Time to change.
But dont you see, Cruz has already won the election...because one delegate!
It’s so logical, it almost makes no sense.
Will the Secret Service act on this threat to a presidential candidate?
From your posting history:
Revenge is a dish best served cold
The Iowa Caucus.
McGruff is a hardcore Putin supporter. That is why he wants Trump president.
How many times yesterday was
(1) The bus in the mud graphic posted?
(2) Cruz with a black eye?
(3) Cruz in various Canadian Themes?
Your hypocrisy is epic.
The only question I have is did Bush set an all-time record?
