Well, it appears that there will be one less bozo to stumble out of the crowded clown car of republican presidential wannabes. Can you guess who?





Well, if your answer was that famous human model for the Muppets Swedish Chef character, John Bolton, you'd be right according to this report:


The field for the GOP presidential nomination is quickly getting crowded, but one Republican decided that he would take a pass on 2016.

John Bolton, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under former President George W. Bush, announced on Thursday that he would not seek the presidency.

"I have decided not to seek the Republican nomination for president," Bolton said in a video to supporters obtained by the Associated Press that will be released later on Thursday. "I believe I can make the strongest contribution to our future by continuing as a clear and consistent advocate for a strong, Reaganite foreign policy that values peace through strength."

Bolton, who was not considered a serious contender for the nomination, had recently traveled to the early primary states of New Hampshire and Iowa.

The GOP field is filling up quickly. Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) have all already announced that they are running for president. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina have also announced that they are running.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum are widely expected to announce their candidacy. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former New York Gov. George Pataki are also considering launching campaigns.



Man, and I thought old John would have been a strong candidate with all his qualifications.
But it looks like there's still room in the clown car for some or all of the above named hopefuls to pile in for the ride. I'm kind of disappointed that I don't see "The Donald" named as one of potential candidates.
