With the midterms now behind us
Demos feeling their new strength
Thirty nine seats flipped and counting
House euphoric feelings mounting
Contemplating two years hence
While Republicans just fuss
Would be candidates deciding
Should I run or should I wait?
Must decide soon or loose out
Good staffing talent, there’s no doubt
Becomes more scarce in later dates
Success on early choices riding
Who will likely run this season?
Competition will be sound
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden
Brooker, Avenatti, Warren
Barbara Boxer, Sherrod Brown
Others, too, will have their reasons
Harris, Swalwell and O’rourke
These, to mention but a few
Just who would be the best contender
Trump, a clear defeat to render
Lighting hope, our faith renewed?
The path we take has many forks
It is our habit in predicting
Future outcomes of such choices
To assume a future percept
Mirroring the current concept
Full ignoring extant forces
Often with the now conflicting
For example, not unlikely
Markets in securities
May have fallen through the floor
Trump’s touted trend would be no more
A new set of priorities
New problems to be handled rightly
So, statisticians have your fun
The standings of the candidates
Including those still undecided
Or intentions unconfined
Hardly will they correlate
With who will ultimately run
