Hillary Clinton Gives up and Gives In!
http://www.newsyoushouldntbelieve.comClinton Withdraws from Presidential Bid - 'It's Not Enough!'

September 8, 2015 - NYC
In a surprise announcement this morning second-time Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton threw in the towel on her bid for the 2016 nomination. Speaking to a few reporters outside her New York headquarters, she said, simply, "A 35% lead in national polling over my opponents is simply not enough. If I can't win unanimously, I'm not going to put myself through a lengthy campaign."
"In New Hampshire, I might even be losing to Bernie Sanders, and my lead in Iowa isn't what I expect it to be," she continued. "Despite my huge lead in South Carolina and in the Super Tuesday states, I'm just not feeling it, you know. Never mind my solid congressional endorsements and other factors. It's just not enough."
When asked whether Joe Biden's possible entry into the race influenced her decision, she said, "Joe? No. He's wasn't really going to run, I'm sure, although he might now. I don't care anymore. If I can't get universal adulation from Democrats on the far left, I'm just not interested any more."
This reporter asked one final question before Clinton sped off in her limo: "Will you reconsider this decision?" Her only response was a incomprehensible expression and a wink.
