Giving Nastiness New Meaning: GOP Presidential Debate #9
Six GOP presidential wannabes
Battled it out on the stage last night.
Needless to say, feathers were flying
In what resembled a real cock fight.
Debate number nine had to be
The most contentious debate of them all.
The refinement level was much less civil
And more on the verge of Neanderthal.
Trump and Bush didn't hold back
On spewing their vitriol against each other.
Bush really lost it when
Trump criticized George, his brother.
Cruz and Trump went back and forth,
Letting their insults amplify.
Trump couldn't resist calling
Cruz a liar and a "nasty guy."
Rubio learned since the previous debate
To stop his robotic repetitions.
He still spat out his talking points,
Trying too hard to prove his ambitions.
Kasich reminded his fellow debaters
To keep their calm, or else beware.
And what did Carson have to say?
He's always so vague; was he even there?
All six felt that the current president
Shouldn't replace Justice Scalia--
That the next president, the voice of the people,
Should make that decision. But mamma mia!
The PEOPLE elected President Obama!
That's a matter for him to decide.
Of course with the current state of Congress,
It's going to be a bumpy ride.
Will the debaters realize
That nastiness has implications?
It makes more Americans wonder
About the wannabes' qualifications.
