CANDIDATE
I am just like you
proud member of the boot-strap generation
rising to prominence
on the backs of my workers
okay I concede
many were illegal, cheap labor
After suffering through bankruptcy
a failed marriage,
to an immigrant I may add,
accusations of fraud
tax evasion
and low TV ratings
I have paid my way to success
or is that paved?
I promise to
send the tired packing
and the poor elsewhere for sustenance
invite huddlers to come in
but only if they can prove Football skills
American Football skills of course
attend mass at least once a term,
where else could I learn about two Corinthians,
accept free-breathing-yearners
if they promise to not abuse their freedom by thinking
I promise to
whip our military into shape
so when I review the troops
they will march in rigid lines
and kick high as I wave
a new special force will be organized,
I'm thinking of calling them "Super Soldiers"
they will wear the initials of their unit with pride
I am well aware
that all will not always agree with me
and that's their choice
to better contemplate as I drop-kick them
over my brand-spanking new 2,000 mile wall
that our neighbors to the South
graciously agreed to pay for
eat your heart out China
my wall will be far superior to that tumble down 5,500 miler you've got
you just can't build anything to last, can you?
I just have so many great ideas
like building large camps
for those bad guys
and their families
who don't think or worship like me
a place where they can concentrate
on what freedom really means
my "Super Soldiers" will gladly answer their questions
of course I'm just spit-ball'in here
Come that auspicious day
when all will flock to the polls
vote for me
CAPICHE?
I almost forgot...pick up one of my campaign t-shirts on your way out, they're the brown ones

Thank you Simon! It frustrates me, as I know it does many others, that other candidates in this race don't have the cajones to speak their mind concerning this dangerous fool.
