Only One Ryan Leader in the House as Pelosi Wins

The Fat Lady for the Blues in the House with  tired old notes sang today

Only one Ryan not two his fellow party members was able to sway

Nancy Pelosi at 76 years old with hair somehow not turning gray

Held Tim Ryan’s challenge to her post as Minority Leader at bay

Her fellow Blue House members even with secret ballots fearful of her vindictive wrath

Fearing being sent to House Gulag or cut adrift without oars, sails or even a raft

Voted for Pelosi by margins of more than two to one

Kudos to Tim Ryan from a rust belt state won by Trump brave enough to make a run

Pelosi since the Blues lost control of the House in 2010 is now 0 for 8

If Blues fail again in 2018 for the post she’s toast without any question or debate

The Blues are still led by tired, old men and women with too leftist ideas the voters in the heartland believe are toast

A party led by elites sipping fine Chablis, feted by celebs,  munching melted Brie and mainly found along our West and East Coast

Will be interesting theater as Trump has made a down payment to Make America Great Again by 1000 Carrier jobs to remain

The next hundred days will be starting now with the House and Senate starting on tax cuts and derailing the Obamacare train
