'Dawn of the Brain Dead': New York Daily News rips New Hampshire's 'mindless zombies' for backing Trump
The New York Daily News paid homage to horror movie classic Dawn of the Dead Wednesday. Their rendition, however, entitled "Dawn of the Brain Dead," depicts New Hampshire primary winner Donald Trump as the cult leader of a "mindless" mass:
After declaring Trump a "dead clown walking" earlier this month after his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, the Daily News' latest cover surmises that this win has brought the "clown" "back to life."
Trump won the Granite State's GOP primary with 35 percent of the vote — 19 percentage points ahead of second-place finisher Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
