In spite of his wealth, one candidate’s public behavior reveals to me an underlying lack of self confidence, leading me to speculate on its origin.
When I Was a Lad
Apologies to H.M.S. Pinafore
When I was a lad
I had a dad
Who was so darn capable
It hurt me bad
It hurt me badly so consistently
That now I am the leader of the GOP
It hurt him badly so consistently
That now he is the leader of the GOP
Dad made his millions
Trading properties
As for me, my father
I could never please
That I couldn’t please him so persistently
I am now the leader of the GOP
That he couldn’t please him so persistently
He is now the leader of the GOP
When Dad passed away
Millions passed to me
I am now worth billions
Wouldn’t Dad be pleased?
Since I made those billions so deceptively
I am now the leader of the GOP
Since he made those billions so deceptively
He is now the leader of the GOP
President, I ran for
As a lark, you see
But since I can’t lose
I am the nominee
Due to you, dear Dad, I am the nominee
And I’ll be the greatest leader of the GOP
Due to his dear dad, he is the nominee
And he’ll be the greatest leader of the GOP

Totally agree–he has a Father complex and should have talked to his Mother.
