Sideshow at the Carnival!

The Republican presidential field!

                                                      

"Step right up, ladies and gentleman, and prepare to be amazed

at the biggest collection of freaks this side of crazed.

You'll see birthers, down-at-the-mouth a*s-kissers,

climate-deniers--all otherwise known as the 'no-answers'.

 

***

 

They're content to shoot flaming character-arrows

 at the president--can anyone say 'play those banjos,

boys, cause we're like something straight out of 'Deliverance'?

Yes, the truth to them is just a complete hindrance

 

***

 

If you're looking for truth, or even common sense,

you won't believe your eyes that anyone could be so dense.

You ain't gonna find those things here, we'll tell you that much,

cause these Neanderthals are completely  out of touch.

 

***

 

Someone forgot to tell them that 1952 is over,

because these knuckle-draggers didn't get the memo--cover

your children's ears, they won't want to hear

how the future's going to blow, how they should let fear

rule their lives, just like they did.

And God help us if their presidential bid

should fall short, cause the other side is dangerously ignorant,

willing to let America become the world's doormat.

 

***

 

I know we sound like downers, but our circus is lot's of fun,

good for high T.V. ratings if nothing else--this is one

sideshow carnival you don't want to miss,

yes, it's nirvana--believe us, it'll be a cable-watchers bliss!"

I've been enjoying what Trump's been doing.

[Michael Stevens]

Oh, he's entertaining all right, but as president? Donald, stick to dumb-a*s reality shows, and leave the governing to people who may have a clue!

[Marie]

I'm not opposed to Donald Trump as president. If he gets support enough, he can throw it behind some reasonable candate...?

[Michael Stevens]

With his runaway ego? I'm afraid if he gets enough support, he'll go for it, the presidency, and then, heaven help us!

[mattavelli]

He's funny. He's getting a lot of airtime for the way he says things.

[Michael Stevens]

I guess, but I find him just an egomaniac.

[mattavelli]

Ya, his punch line of choice seems to involve his greatness. He can end our trade imbalance with china because he once sold a condo to a Chinese... I've been getting a kick out of him.

[Michael Stevens]

I suppose, as long as you take nothing he says to heart, or as the truth.

[mattavelli]

Ya, I only believe the real politicians. Hahaha

[Michael Stevens]

Thank goodness you're not buying his 'Fake Pissed' routine!
