Your Proof Went Poof

You always say that in America
  anyone can grow up to be President
Then you chuckle and offer
  the current President as proof

I say that your proof is no good ~ 
  He wouldn't grow up if he could

G’day Gershon … how old are you when grow up? Obviously it must be more than seventy-five - Lindsay

Women (used to) grow up early... Many men today never do. My opinion, anyway. :) gw

Indeed, Gershon. I love how you bring it full circle with your last line. Unfortunately, it’s as scary as it is true. Your poetic pen is a political scalpel.. lol! Warmest wishes, Doc Slice and Dice! ~Susan

My gut tells me that it's a Biden landslide, barring the totally unexpected. People vote their feelings these days, and Mr. Trump has brought this on himself with his big mouth. If voters just looked at results, I believe that Trump would win a thin victory, as Trump has done a lot of good, and Mr. Biden has nothing to say other than to raise taxes and pave the way for socialistic health care and environmental programs... Oh, well.
