The GOP Presidential Candidacy Debate #3
The GOP presidential candidacy
Debate number three was pretty ho hum.
We'd be hard-pressed to even say
A winner prevailed--by rule of thumb.
Not the center of attention last night,
Trump kept harping on his great wall.
Bush was still namby-pamby,
While Carson said basically nothing at all.
Kasich came off as being the moderate
Potential candidate in the whole group.
But that won't get him very far
With a voting public so easy to dupe.
Rubio and Cruz blasted the so-called
"Liberal" mainstream media. Hilarious!
They grasped at straws to find a scapegoat
When their responses were weak or precarious.
Fiorina and Huckabee--yawn!
Poor Rand Paul was going nowhere.
Christie's tumescent attacks were attempts
To hide his baggage--but let's not go there.
The debaters needed to check their own facts.
They also needed to do their math
As they beckoned a gullible public
To follow them down their mythical path.
Having few positive ideas,
They say they love their country. But no!
Instead they appeal to paranoia
And fears they generate. It's all a big show.
