Distinction today was the Trump-Care defeat
Will all the Trump’s forces and all the Trump’s men
Be willing to put it together again?
I doubt it. I think it has finally been beat
But that doesn’t mean that McConnell won’t try
He’ll threaten and sweeten and make little tweaks
We’ll witness the process stretch out over weeks
But ultimately it will quietly die
The reasons are obvious: it really stinks
But far more important are what you have done
The phone calls, the sit-ins, the protests you’ve run
Which you will keep doing until this bill sinks
So where are the statesmen the ones with some guts
Who’ll reach ‘cross the isle in the drafting of laws
And work to improve ACA’s major flaws
So the people would win with no ifs, ands, or buts
