Ted Cruz

All today I had the blues
Because I listened to the news,
Learning Iowans did choose
Not Trump or Rubio, but Cruz.

This candidate does not amuse.
His cockiness just seems to ooze
From all his pores and in reviews,
His own Grand Party can’t enthuse.

It seems he likes to put the screws
On fellow pols, who can’t excuse
The vitriol he likes to use
When his agenda he pursues.

In the end, I must effuse – 
Oh, Mr. Cruz, I hope you lose!

I have too agree that Cruz does seem rather smug most of the time. But at the same time Trump is pretty smug himself *sigh*. My faith in this election's candidates is dreadfully tiny. Nice monorhyme anyhow... they aren't always easy to write!
