A Great Joke Bears Repeating

          Sunday’s Weekly Video Review E-dition featured Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz ushering in 2016 with a scathing monologue ridiculing Obama and Hillary.  

“2016 is going to be an incredible year,” the Texas senator proclaimed.

“2016 is going to be the last year of the Obama presidency.”

“2016 is going to be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua.”

“2016 is going to be the last year that we have Obamacare.”

“2016 is going to be the last year until we abolish the IRS.”

“And 2016 is going to be the last year until we utterly destroy ISIS and defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Like 1980, 2016 is going to be a very, very good year.”  

Then the presidential candidate, who has gained traction in recent weeks, ended his New Year’s Eve message by telling a story he said he’d “heard on the trail.”

“I want to finish with just a simple story a story that I’ve heard on trail. The date is January 20, 2017 and a little old man walks up to the Marine guarding the front gate of the White House and says, “Excuse me sir, is Barack Obama here?

The Marine says, “No, I’m sorry, Barack Obama is no longer President of the United States.”

The next day on January 21, 2017, the same little old man walks up to the same marine and says, “Excuse me, is Barack Obama here,” and the Marine sighs, a little bit frustrated, says, “No, Barack Obama is no longer president of the United States.”

The next day on January 22, 2017, the same little old man walks up to the same marine and says, “Excuse me, is Barack Obama here,”

And this time, the Marine is visibly frustrated and says, “Sir, I’ve told you three days in a row, Barack Obama is no longer Present of the United States,” the little old man smiles, and with a twinkle in his eye, says, “I know that, I just love hearing you say it,” and the Marine promptly salutes and says, “See you tomorrow, Sir.”

“2016 is going to be a very, very good year?”

That transcript does not do that joke justice. You really need to hear it again.

And The Blower guarantees Donald Trump had better hope Ted Cruz doesn’t use that joke for his Opening Statement during the upcoming Republican Presidential Debate in Charleston, South Carolina, on January 14, because that joke is a winner. See how it goes over the next time you tell it to one of your DemocRAT friends.”
