Where’s the Grand Old Party gone
Long time suffering
Where’s the GOP today
They’ve gone berserk
No Republicans remain
That have their heads on straight
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

There is talk of impeachment
I ‘m not kidding you
Hillary should be impeached
If she does win
Hillary they must obstruct
Her agenda to defeat
I n spite of having won
In spite of having won

Where’s the Grand Old Party gone
Long time fracturing
What’s the GOP become
Obstructionists
Blocking what the people want
What they had voted for
This time they won’t succeed
This time they won’t succeed

Chris Mathews had VP Joe Biden on Hard Ball
Joe spoke of how Democrats now are elites
Ignoring the laborer’s plights. He recalls
When unions saved Democrats oft from defeat

Now labor is hurting like never before
Where imperfect trade deals have cost them their jobs
Trade deals that the Democrats have voted for
Displacing the worker, his dignity robbed

There’s no easy answer with World enterprise
Where globalization’s the root of World trade
As standards-of-living of states equalize
Our workers will suffer, their future un made

Our trade deals are needed for us to compete
Without them we’d suffer prolonged tariff wars
Commercial preeminence it would defeat
And likely propel us toward world war

Technology’s hyper advance is the core
Of globalization and worker production
It’s clear, that the future will witness much more
As robots take over most all labor functions

So we must be cognizant, must be prepared
To ready our work force for what lies ahead
To school them technologies, keep them aware
Of change as it happens, maintaining their lead

An interesting number gained prominent space
The Huffington Post published it: thirty one
Thirty one voter-frauds, fully proven, each case
Out of a billion votes all said and done

But Trump is predicting fraud massive throughout
The system is rigged and the polls are all wrong
It’s how he explains what will soon be a rout
Since sans this corruption he’d win clear and strong

This posture portends post-election results
That Trump will not cede Clinton’s clear victory
Prompting his followers then to revolt
And questioning Clinton’s legitimacy

There at the dinner the Cardinal they flanked
Trump on his left side and Clinton his right
The seating arrangement was maybe a prank
With Clinton the right of Trump, rare is that sight

Humor was called for, mild self deprecation
Which Clinton accomplished in keeping and tune
But Trump’s joke: Melania’s plagiarization
It seems he had plagiarized from a cartoon

Trump dug his hole deeper with Clinton attacks
Which prompted the gentry attending the dinner
To boo his pronouncements, the humor they lacked
Clinton’s performance was clearly the winner

But Clinton said something I ponder, as such
That people are judged not by things they have built
But by all of the people their actions have touched
I would add: some things built many lives will have felt

Hillary fiddled while Donald Trump burned
De-baiting him over, above and below
He started off smoothly but she made him turn
Back to the Trumple Dee we’ve come to know

She hit him with Putin and puppet and horse
Provoked “nasty lady” and “liar” and “jail”
His temper she triggered; she stayed cool, of course
Realizing his bid for the White House would fail

But Trump blew his chances, if any were there
By flaunting election tradition we cherish
The peaceful transition of power; beware!
Without it democracy soon, here would perish

Four weeks ’till elections
Some folks voting early
With Trump’s indiscretions
The outcome’s seen clearly

All the pundits are chattering
With nothing much to say
Nothing news is Earth shattering
Trump keeps digging away

The Republicans are losing out
Really down-ballot deep
The Senate looks like a rout
They, the House might not keep

Meanwhile seen many miles away
Mosul siege is the news
ISIL’s caliphate might not hold sway
If that city they lose

It’ll be our next President
Who’ll be calling these shots
Clinton’s capable, for all intents
Donald Trump, surely not

An article by Fareed Zakaria in Newsmax, 10/17/16, inspired this poelitic.

What, post-election, will the Party be?
What, after Trump, will be the GOP
It won’t be Grand, or Old; it may be done
Replaced by loyalist Trumpublicans

Trump’s toxic message to his rabble crowd:
“Election’s rigged!” He’ll shout out clear and loud
“The media lies! It should have gone my way!”
When Clinton tramples Trump Election Day

And on that day Trumpublicans will join
Together, the election to purloin
They’ll protest, forming an insurgency
They’ll claim that Trump is President to Be

Trumpublicans, true populists they’ll be
Protectionists: this Country first and free
They’ll do their damndest to stop Hillary’s
Destruction of their way of life you see

It’s pretty clear that Hillary will win
And Democrats in numbers will get in
But what Trump started won’t just fade away
Trumpublicans, a while, are here to stay

It’s clear to me
From what I hear and see
That Trumple is a man obsessed with Hillary

He can’t let go
His nutty tweets all show
There’s nothing other on his mind, but Hillary

What ever’s wrong
In short term or in long
Trump always lays the blame for it on Hillary

He flaps and flails
When polling shows he’ll fail
His psyche seems to be possessed by Hillary

His backers know
That he’s their only show
They know that they won’t have their way with Hillary

And when she wins
His psyche might cave in
And Trump will claim the outcome rigged by Hillary

The magazine, Time, pictured Trump melted down
Recovery’s not in the offing, it’s clear
Now labeled predator, no longer clown
Nor other labels he’s earned o’er the years

Interesting isn’t it, up until now
Republican backers ignored attributes
Like con man and racist and bigot; some how
Those traits they could tolerate absent dispute

But now that he’s seen as a sex predator
They’d risk their own base by supporting him still
What took you so long, Congressman / Senator?
It’s your fate, you’re too late, your career you’ve just killed

A comment by one of the Hillary staff
Got my attention since I don’t agree
Reading it lightly it first made me laugh
It then gave me pause for new insights to see

She said that Trump doesn’t belong on the stage
Together with Clinton, since he is so down
He’s such an embarrassment causing outrage
And Clinton deserves an opponent, not clown

As you know by now Trump supporter I’m not
But he’s changed the landscape of real politics
Awakening millions who’ve felt so left out
By speaking their language and promising tricks

We know Trump’s a con man and not a true giver
But to his supporters their yearnings are real
So Clinton as President needs to deliver
For all of the people, this country to heal
