Check These Boxes

Middle America's Democrats are reeling in shock
At the party's Progressive Agenda, tailor-made to block
   The candidacy of anyone who can't check these boxes
   Minority Female, Pro-LGBTQ, P.C. Platform ~ sky-high taxes

Incredible write. Way to pave the way for Beto to get crushed in the electoral count, too. At least no one can say you didn't see it coming

Whoa, Phillip. You're assuming Beto's the nominee. He's a 37-year old ex-Mayor of a city of 100,000 people. Can the Democrats possibly be THAT stupid? (Hmmmm. Maybe they can be..) :) gw

Good one! You forgot the new Declarations that holding illegals=concentration camps. Must be aboard the Impeachment Train. Must use name calling..All the Phobes. Panagiota

Thanks... Actually, I could have included lots more, but a clerihew is only four lines... As for AOC's concentration camp comparison, isn't it ironic that a significant percentage of the electorate that put her in office is Jewish?! They ought to be ashamed of themselves---but they're not! So she, who also knows no shame whatsoever, is merely a reflection of those who elected her. Frightening stuff, indeed. ~ gw

Politics are a pain in the ***. Bet the whole world is keeling over.with laughter with our brexit shambles and the back stabbing and in fighting in.our ruling party.

As for me, I'm only laughing a little. Truth be told, I'm just astonished by what's going on with Brexit. It's surreal to me. Unprecedented in our times. Thanks for the comment, Tom. ~ gw

Talk about a clever write...this one is for the records...Great clerihew Gershon. Makes me shake my head...

Me too, Charlie. I'm still shaking my head. Can't wait 'til that shaking stops. Thanks for the view and the viewpoint, my friend. Best wishes, Gershon

makes me wonder if it's all a drum roll for a moderate democrat to swoop in like a hero on a steed...

Lol! I’m neither moderate nor democrat :D

Gershon Wolf

Normally, I'd say you nailed it. But who is that moderate? Hilary, of course, thinks that she is. LOL about 100 times there. Biden thought he was; but he does not have any convictions to be courageous for... There is an ex-Senator from Missouri, Claire McCaskill, who would probably be ideal. But she'd have to be led at gunpoint to run... So, who's left? … Wait a minute: How bout you?!!! :) gw
