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 c**k 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.
