Not like a year ago, this time Dems won
Congrats to Ralf Northam, Phil Murphy and others
Who won overwhelmingly all said and done
And sent Reps a message: Trump’s era is over
This clearly bodes well for the mid-term elections
The number one issue beside Trump, himself
Was health care: the Reps pushing for its rejection
And no real improvements of life that’s been felt
Paul Ryan on seeing this must be dismayed
As much a rejection of him as of Trump
How many House members will all this persuade
To distance themselves both from him and from Trump?
The Democrats won as an anti-Trump vote
But that by itself likely isn’t enough
To regain the House; really they must promote
New approaches to solving old ills that are tough
