Out With the Old

Out with the old; in with the new
A face from the past simply won't do
Joseph Biden's fairly melting away
Don't get ideas, Hilary
You've seen better days...

The same thing back in 2016 was true
Jeb Bush checked all the boxes then too
A moderate whose wife was Hispanic
Jeb himself spoke fluent Spanish --

His downfall precipitated by one fatal flaw
He was yet another Bush family member
                          ~ That ice never thawed

Congressional term limits. Good for President, good for Congress, good for the people.

Term limits are good for everyone, and good for you, Kenneth! :) Gershon

Amusing bit of political satire, Gershon. I especially liked the part about Jeb Bush. :)

Yep. Good old Jeb... Biden looks to be repeating the Jeb experience this year. Voters are groaning at anything reminiscent of 'Old Guard' Democrats. My opinion, anyway. Smiles, Gershon

My question is when is the old going to leave? It seems to hang around, no matter what.

The old just won't let go. They have to give up sooner or later though! :) Gershon
