Wily Republicans running from running

They’re dropping like flies!

First Haley Barbour. Then Mike Huckabee. Now Donald Trump. If this keeps
up, pretty soon there’ll be more Republicans not running for president
than running.

It’s especially sad to see Trump drop out. It just won’t be as much fun
without him. No more combover jokes. No more F-bombs in speeches. No
more black helicopter rides.

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 ferret out Obama’s college grades? Not Newt. Not Mitt. Not T-Paw.

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 of them.

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.

They know Obama created 1.3 million new jobs in 2010 alone — more than George W. Bush created in eight years. And that April 2011 was the third straight month where new job growth exceeded 200,000.

And they know gas prices are coming down.

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

Question: Forget about Mitch Daniels getting in — who’s the next to drop out?
