Election 2012

Bottoming Out

Even though Donald Trump has exited the race for the Republican presidential nomination, he's still managing to be the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats by sucking a massive amount of enthusiasm out of the sails of the Tea Party following his departure.

Though as many as 2,000 people were expected at a Tea Party rally in South Carolina, just 30 showed up after Donald Trump cancelled his appearance with Gov. Nikki Haley (R), according to the Columbia State.

Who will be the next candidate to pretend that they're entering the race, implode shortly after, and further depress the level of enthusiasm for the Republican presidential field? Michele Bachmann? Sarah Palin? Rick Perry?

As previously noted, GOP dissatisfaction is already on the rise and it appears there is no end in sight.

Or as we tend to say around here -- Keep going! You're doing great!
