This is where I see we are until the polls close in November. I'm not sure we shouldn't be ashamed of ourselves.

Hillary and Donald By Franklin Price 7/29/2016 Hillary and Donald The Clinton and the Trump Run to save the country Or send it further in the dump Only the two of them are left To run for president We no longer feel the Bern And sixteen have come and went Clinton is establishment Politics has been her thing If she wins will be the first female To wear the presidential ring Brings years of participating With the Washington elite Where graft is most predominate Among most everyone you meet Trump is from the outside Wants to change the status quo Will make this country great again Just how he'll do it we don't know Being tired of Washington elite Donald said the things we thought He also was self funding A billionaire who was not bought Neither one is popular Told so by the polls and news Neither one is good for us They're not the ones that we would choose Who do you think it was that chose them? Was not some little elves It was voting by the people Yes, we did this to ourselves So now will come November And on the day the polls will close One will be chosen by the voters What will happen no one knows

I'm not sure it was you and me - as people vote, 'the powers that be' rezone and redefine districts to abuse vote count. Plus, other manipulations. Your clever, flowing poem is bound to stir up soup! America did manage 2 produce 2 nightmares! Shame USA for developing a process that only allows those with money and/or power to run - eliminating endless intelligent/capable people. We should lock our entire govt. in a huge closet with journalists and fed them all exlax. All the best - CayCay

Oh how your comments compliment my poem. What you wrote is very much the problem. Locking them all in a closet and feeding exlax is a wonderful idea. The problem is, they would all be dead before they were empty due to their blood boiling from all the hot air.
