Hey Democratic Candidates

Hey, democratic candidates – 
Forget campaigns, forget debates.
Just toss your names into a hat,
Let Nancy pick and that is that!

The only way to win the fight
Is for all people to unite
Whose goal is simply to prevent
A reelection we’ll lament.

So Joe or Bernie, Liz or Pete,
Amy, Mike – accept defeat
And join behind the party’s pick
But do not wait – just do it quick!

The months are slipping by so fast
But well before the votes are cast
If we unite, we’ll have reclaimed
The torch from He-who-can’t-be-named!

Well said, but the election has been lost by Democrats blasting each other full of holes before Trump could do it! Not one is left standing to unite the nation or resolve the issues! Democrats certainly did not need the NRA to shoot themselves in the foot! Aloha! Rico

You’re so genius with rhyme, but don’t get it politically. It’s an anomaly.

Cute one... of course, each of the candidates wants to protect his or her turf.... So, disunity carries the day for a while longer, until there's a clear winner. That's politics for you. :) Gershon
