Hi Hilda, I am not familiar with international politics and not quite interested too as politics is a 'nasty game'. I know this is sniggering at a political leader you don't approve.

Poem is about pandering. True that politicians pander the most for votes. A person should be truthful, and characterize himself as he really is.

After you mentioned the dead deer the image is stuck in my head. Poor things draped across the hood. But I guess I should say the same for all the dead animals that I ate from the grocery store refrigerator and freezer. lol nope deer can’t read but neither do I read enough food labels. Engaging poem you wrote!

Thank you. They'd probably have used a blow-up plastic deer. Poor Rudolph.

Cute poem, Hilda... Somebody will have to write a book titled 'Why John Deere can't read.' lol... True confession time: I think that the 'camo cap' actually plays well to the alienated lower-middle and middle class white populace that the Democrats suddenly realize they have to try to reach... though they'll never reach me. LOL: Only once voted Democrat, as an 18-year old idiot, for Hubert Humphrey, 'cos my teachers told me 'Nixon is a crook.' ~ gw

When I was in Dublin, the taxi driver and I talked politics. He couldn't understand why I would vote for Trump because he was convicted by our jury system. I gave him something to think about.

Mexican television used to have a comedy show called Chespirito. It was a pun on Americans. Chespirito wore a hunting cap. The Democrats are late with the stereotype.

There is so much corruption in politics. Change is badly needed. Blessings, dear Hilda.

So true, Evelyn. We gotta throw the 'old bums' out, so we can vote in 'new bums.' Politics being 'the last refuge of scoundrels,' even Obama got away with 'Change we can believe in.' ~ Smoke, the Hopium

Dear hilda, i might not know exactly the depth of what you’ve conveyed here, but sometimes so many are too naive to rely on human beings for saving. I think politics is a dirty game. I often think of animal farm by George Orwell when i look around today even in the maldives. Wishing you well and sending you light always

It is a dirty game. After election I will be removing my political poems. Thank you for your insight.

I hate politics including those of my own Malta. There's corruption everywhere.

Yep, a bunch of phonies. Oh well, it is what it is. Quite a circus to watch, but I feel it is my civic duty.
