The Not-a-Good-Night-for-Marco RAP: GOP Debate #8
The recent GOP candidate debate--
A rollicking, frolicking encounter number eight--
Showed poor Marco Rubio at his worst,
Sounding robotic and over-rehearsed.
Repeating three times his stump speech spiel
And revealing to the audience his Achilles' heel,
He proved he's good at memorizing speeches,
But he also proved how limited his reach is.
Dodging questions is a clever approach,
But maybe he needs to find a better coach.
A very calm Trump had few attackers,
Except for Jeb Bush and his "donor backers."
Trump might be a whiz on all that's budgetary,
But when he condones torture, he gets a little scary.
Christie spent a lot of energy attacking
Rubio's experience and how much of it he's lacking.
Carson was as Carson as Carson could be.
Who still takes that guy seriously?
Cruz is always crafty, but tell me, every time he
Talks, what IS it that makes him sound so slimy?
Bush tried hard to show that he was tough.
What? Does he think he's a diamond in the rough?
Kasich was the most positive one of all.
That could sadly contribute to his fall.
Today it seems that nasty takes you far.
Nice shows weakness--a performance under par.
How many more debates do they need
To show they've got what it takes to succeed?
It's hard to imagine what they've left unsaid.
But Rubio is in WAY over his head.
