A Blue fixture
on the Washington scene still expects to run the White House show
Mitt Romney
who many of us now want a Mulligan
instead of the vote in 2012 we cast
Has decided
though his ideas were right, his time to run for President is now past.
Hillary in the modern day equivalent of the divine right of kings
Has not yet
joined Mitt and is waiting to see what coronation frenzy will bring
Tired ideas,
tired face, ignoring the gender more like an Obama clone
And in
foreign policy the mistakes she has to own
"What difference
does it make that corporations don’t create jobs"
Or that with
her book advances and speaking fees income equality for Blues she robs
On the Red
side there is the matter of Jeb Bush trying to become the last member of the
Bush Over the Line Team
Though a
good man and not his brother’s keeper against the angst of his brother’s wars
he will be like a salmon swimming upstream,
New faces on
both sides needed without the baggage of the past
Fresh ideas to
prevent or at least delay this country’s last gasps
No matter
how much a candidate in the general
wants to win the top political prize
A devotion
to resurrect the lost art of no more winner take all but rather the art of political
compromise
