"Arnold why would you want to end your campaign," asked a confused Gerald. "You won New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. What would make you end the most successful campaign in history?"
"The press," Arnold muttered.
"The what?"
"THE PRESS, GERALD! THE PRESS IS TALKING ABOUT HOW SINCE WILMA WAS BORN, I HAVEN'T TAKEN MY CAMPAIGN SERIOUSLY! PARDON ME IF I HAVE A NEWBORN AND A WIFE TO WORRY ABOUT!"
Gerald had never seen him blow up like that.
Arnold then started to break down and collapsed on his knee, weeping on one sleeve, holding on to the top of a chair with the other.
"I'm sorry, Gerald," Arnold said between weeps. "This press is killing me. How am I going to make it on Super Tuesday with the press trying to tear me down?"
"Arnold, this press is madness, I agree," said Gerald. "But this press isn't worth breaking down and getting angry over. Anybody who tries to break you down, ignore them. You control you. You control this campaign. And I believe you should keep the fight going."
Arnold knew he could count on Gerald. He knew that Gerald could help him, THE most optimistic kid in his neighborhood in Hillwood. Nobody came close to Gerald (except Helga and Wilma, of course) to cheering him up. He was glad to be running with Gerald as his vice leader. He rose up and stood straight and said: "Set up a news conference for the next hour."
"You got it, Arnold," said Gerald.

1 HOUR LATER
"It has came to my attention that the press has judged me for my absence from the campaign due to the birth of my daughter. The remarks thrown by the press targeted at my family are absolutely appalling. The press has only one job and one job only: To report on the news and other useful information to American citizens and citizens all around the world. They have also made speculation about me dropping out before Super Tuesday, the biggest day in the presidential primaries yet. I believe after sweeping the Iowa caucuses, the New Hampshire primary, the South Carolina primary, and the Nevada caucuses, dropping out is not an option. Therefore, to wrap up the press conference, I intend to stay in the presidential race all the way to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio."
And with that, Arnold walked confidently, leaving the press ashamed and prepared to cover Arnold and Gerald's victories on super Tuesday.
