Election Year

UNSUPPORTED CODE UNSUPPORTED CODE Election Year UNSUPPORTED CODE They all gathered at the Tower, They faked their cheers for about an hour; A king in his castle, on the very first day, All of the actors, He would pay; He declared he will replace Barack. This made him a laughing stock; The Billionaire Beginner took the nation by storm, His beliefs and ideals have elephants torn. Banners and signs say Make America Great, Throw out Obama, Indict Secretary of State; He learned as he’d go and during the primary, He’d make pacts and proclamations that often were scary; Build a wall we will, Mexico shall pay, Is this the new, American way; Big Business don’t go, or you’ll go on trial, Don’t forget about Muslims, Ban them for awhile; The things he says are all over the place, Carly Fiorina, Who would vote for that face; The reality star shone bright in debates, Igniting the silent majority of states; He beat out a senator, calling him Little Marco, He outran Kasich, The Governor of Ohio; He beat out Christy, But they became friends, Will Christy be VP, I guess that all depends; The only man to give him a run, A man he calls Lyin’ Ted, The senator returned to Texas, He now represents the red; My vote went to Rubio, but I am not bitter, Part of me likes him, When he’s not on twitter; GOP becomes a mess and still some aren’t buyin’, Though some decide to jump on board, After gaining support from Ryan; The blue donkeys this year are an abomination, One is even under investigation; 42nd First Lady, Please tell us the truth, You put us in danger, They even have proof; Bernie o’ Bernie, Such a simple man, He’ll give you free everything, It’s on Uncle Sam; He tried his best, To sway Bern’s fans, Some said no, Some joined the man; His manner is changing, Still not politically correct, the second amend, he will protect; We see him in our homes on O’Reilly Factor, His face on magazines, Much like an actor; Strengthen our military and ISIS we’ll defeat, Support our veterans and protect our police; Strengthen our economy and decrease our debt, We’ll know in November, The date’s been set; This pivotal time in our beloved nation, This vote requires much consideration; Orlando, Dallas, Black Lives Matter, As we sit and watch our society shatter, Donald J. Trump is the red candidate, and who gets my vote on that autumn date, I want to make America Great, I will not vote for a Secretary of State. UNSUPPORTED CODE

JONATHAN POWERS,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

You've covered the details, and come to a conclusion that you can live with. I like the way you did not give name credit to the candidate who is running on the other ticket, however your point is clear.
