Notes About The Poem

Listening to the establishment of the Republican Party prompted me to write this. My feeling is they allowed Donald Trump to run as a Republican because of the market share of the media it would bring. My opinion is that they thought he would make the other candidates look good while bringing more attention to the Republican party. How well did that work?

Marching into Super Tuesday
Just after Leap Year Day
Many States  are having Primaries
The voters have their say

Looks like things have gone crazy
There's no rhythm and no rhyme
The Republicans are up in arms
Don't like it's Trumping time

Didn't mind the market share
When Trump was but a joke
A political apprentice 
A piggy in a poke

He came out guns a blazing
Not politically correct
A breath of fresh air speaking
With voters to connect

Not one of the establishment
Who made the traffic jam
He spoke against them everyone
He didn't give a damn

Now that he's standing on the top
The party puts him down
If they had just had half a brain
They would not have let him come to town

Don't say I'm voting for him
Not saying that I'm not
Just saying that the Elephants
Deserve all that they got
