Gilmore drops out of race as nation buys Valentine gifts

A collector's item

If you are shocked that former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore suspended his presidential campaign, you might be low on Haldol or some other anti-psychotic medication, but dropped out he did.

The GOP candidate was the only veteran among the other contenders but in spite of that, his polling was lower than a Bill Clinton moral decision in a room filled with naked female interns. 

Gilmore's campaign just never got started, unless you consider the 12 votes he received in the Iowa caucuses and the 133 votes in New Hampshire a testimony to his viability as POTUS.

The fact that he stayed in the race beyond Iowa and New Hampshire is an example of just how egotistical one must be to run for the nation's highest office. Beneath the surface that we see, nobody is humble.

Gilmore promises to continue speaking out on behalf of the GOP and will continue taking shots at Hillary Clinton and socialist Bernie Sanders (pronounced "Sandahs").

"My campaign was intended to offer the gubernatorial experience, with the track record of a true conservative, experienced in national security, to unite the party. My goal was to focus on the importance of this election as a real turning point and to emphasize the dangers of continuing on a road that will further undermine America's economy and weaken our national security," Gilmore said. 

With more time left on the clock, Gilmore continued: "Nonetheless, I will continue to express my concerns about the dangers of electing someone who has pledged to continue Obama's disastrous policies."

The only thing Jim Gilmore lacked was big personality status. He probably would have made a good president, but in order to do that, he needed to be electable. 

Ding. Ding. 

Your time is up, sir.
