No New Paradigm: GOP Presidential Debate #11

The GOP Debate--

Number eleven this time--

In no way could be called

A new paradigm.

 

Though Carson wasn't present--

Which means we're down to four--

Three attacked one another,

Declaring all-out war.

 

Trump defended his manhood,

Called Cruz a liar,

And put "little Marco" in

The direct line of fire.

 

Cruz and Rubio attacked

Trump's "flexibility,"

Trying to bring him down

With little attempt at civility.

 

Kasich distanced himself,

Saying that people assume

That he among the debaters

Is the "adult in the room."

 

Of course, they brought up Benghazi--

Unable to let it go.

The same thing ad infinitum;

They don't know when to say "Whoa!"

 

Repealing the ACA

Is one of their constant promises.

What is wrong with these

Republican doubting Thomases?

 

FOUR from how many were there--

Seventeen, eighteen, twenty?--

Are people I’d hardly call

Our leading cognoscenti.

 

It's nice the number has dwindled--

There were so many of them.

But frankly there's no way I

Would vote for any of them.
