The front page of the New York Daily News’ Wednesday issue featured Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wearing clown makeup alongside a horde of “brain dead” zombies the newspaper suggested had voted for him in the New Hampshire primary.

Trump finished first in the Granite State by a large margin on Tuesday night.

The tabloid ran with the headline “Dawn of the Brain Dead” and a sub-headline that stated: “Clown comes back to live with N.H. win as mindless zombies turn out in droves.”

The New York Daily News declared Trump a “dead clown walking” earlier this month after he came in second place behind Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the Iowa caucuses.

  1. What I want to know is who are the 60-plus idiots that braved the weather in NH to go to vote for Jim Gilmore.

  2. “Dawn of the Brain Dead.” No, that era actually got its start in 1980.

    “Ol’ Gonna” would be more appropriate. I once knew a guy whose direct reports behind his back called him “Old Gonna” because he never laid out any strategies just pontificated about how we’re gonna do this and do that.

    I listed to tRUMPS speech tonight and it was all gonna this and gonna that. With chants of USA! USA! in the background.

    Seriously…

    That steady diet of Pirate Booty eventually will make your wee wees drop off kiddies…

  4. Hah. Works for me.
