2. Wow what a big surpise

not...

Larry O'Donnel called both Trump and Huckabee

said they would NOT run and he sure was right

[Snotcicles]

8. L O knows all. Bet he's right on the end of time too. nt

[montanacowboy]

13. Haaaaaaaaa

good one!

3. Aww, that's too bad. I would have loved to see his platform in campaign season

"Where's the birth certificate? Where's the birth certificate? Where's the birth certificate?"

:rofl:

4. He never was going to do it.

He was drumming up publicity for his stupid TV show, while making a colossal ass of himself in the process.

[ecstatic]

5. Now that he's completely irrelevant

I must admit, I'm a little disappointed. That would have been fun!!! Hopefully Palin and Bachmann decide to run!

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Wow. That didn't take long, did it?

Guess the joke got old quick.

[ecstatic]

7. Hopefully the Apprentice will be canceled as well

He lost his base of viewers during his clown run.

10. I never watched it anyway, but I heard on TJMS that his finale bled a million..

viewers from the previous show. I think The Donald will meet the same fate as Glen Beck. At least I hope so.

[krawhitham]

15. It was renewed, he announced his NON run at NBC's upfront meeting

[jenmito]

9. Was it a long-form statement?

What a shocker. :rofl:

[Rowdyboy]

11. Post of the day!

I want the certified long form!

[Travelman]

18. LOL!

Much win!

:rofl:

[tomm2thumbs]

12. '...if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election'

HA!

He got his hat (and hair) handed to him by Obama. Period.

[global1]

14. I Guess Now We'll Never Really Know That - Will We Donald?.....nt....

[craigmatic]

16. *In Cenk voice* Of course.

[provis99]

17. biggest non-surprise of the year.

[ItNerd4life]

19. If it's on Faux, how can we believe? You saying you believe Faux? nt
