Delaney withdraws from Race

And the source of many a meme goes away…for now…

Well, I don’t think there’s a single person on Earth or in Hell who didn’t expect him (among others) to be gone the morning after Iowa, as is usually the case with crowded primary fields. But to stick around this long after being excluded from most of the debates & ignored by the media, seems odd that he would throw in the towel three days before the Iowa caucus.

I do have a slight curiosity as to which “moderate” candidates he believes he’s helping by getting out of the way. I don’t think Biden really needed his 3 or 4 supporters.

Who knew he was still in the race?

mush

Good riddance.

Who will get his voter now than he quit?

Wow, maybe Biden will pick up his 3 or 4 supporters in Iowa before Monday!

Another invisible potato-head bites the bullet…….Buh-Bye!!……Go back to what you were doing………

The Wall Street Journal reports that, in a surprise move, Michael Bloomberg leveraged Delaney stock so low that he was able to come in and scoop up all of it. His brand is now nearly secure, and experts say that Bloomberg is already negotiating a behind the scenes buyout of Tom Steyer. “When people talk about the obscenely wealthy Democrat running for office, I want everyone else to know that they’re talking about me.” Bloomberg remarked to reporters in one of his droll but humorous “Bloombergisms”.

Bloomberg initially spoke of his people in his “Murders and Abductions” department deserving of a lot of the credit for this success, but quickly corrected himself to say that that was a slip of the tongue, and that he meant to say “Mergers and Acquisitions”. Rumors fly that Trump has his price, but that Bloomberg’s initial feelers to the Trump family haven’t come close to meeting it. “We’ve spent years building up this operation, and we won’t settle for a penny less than its fair market value.”,  a member of the Trump family has reportedly commented, while speaking off the record.

Whether Bloomberg will bear all the cost of these buyouts, or will float an IPO, is a questioned that is dominating the conversation of investors worldwide.

Didn’t realize he was still in race. What a doofus.

Liked for the comments.

I forgot about him

He got out before the post Iowa stampede of wannabes take the best seat on the bus to Palookaville.

I forgot he he was still in. Oh wait. Did I even know he was in at all? 🤔

Delaney also lost in the Princess Bride.

I think Bernie won this Battle of Wits.

His corporate masters demanded his dropping out, lest he should drain Biden of 5 precious votes.

Presidential or human?

He promises to distribute his 0% of voters equally among all the candidates who remain!

The average American has no idea who Mike Pence is, much less such a non-entity. Pure vanity on Delaney’s part that he even felt the need to annoumce his departure from a race no one knew he was in.

Delaney who?

Candidate Who Posted His Workout Videos Says Bernie and Warren Need to ‘Stop the Nonsense’

The Delaney campaign message was simple enough: After four years of Donald Trump and a decade-plus of vitriolic politics, the electorate is just begging for someone with business experience who promised to govern from the center.

The idea that voters want a moderate Democratic nominee is an argument that’s been made time and again in the Democratic primary, most prominently by upper-tier candidates like Joe Biden, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. But it’s also been made by many, many other candidates this cycle. Remember John Hickenlooper, who’s now running for U.S. Senate instead? Michael Bennet, who’s apparently still in the race? Howard Schultz??

They’re gone, but Sanders — a socialist — is still there, running neck and neck with former Vice President Joe Biden, a key figure in the modern Democratic Party’s turn toward the center. It’s 30 months after Delaney entered the race, and we’re no closer to settling the debate.

So farewell, John Delaney. Your pessimism, DIY home workout videos, and extreme facial expressions will be missed — by the fraction of people who supported you.
