Desperate politicians think
The right direction
Is feeding into voters’ fears
And disaffection.
Which voters, you may ask?
Most times, the right guys
To do this with would have
To be older white guys.
Nixon, back in the day, made
This a priority
By tailoring his message to the
Silent Majority
Which is what Trump does now.
Foes fear they’re dead meat
If they can’t come up with some
Comparable red meat.
But any honest GOP strategist in
Quiet moments panics:
He knows they can’t win without
Women & Hispanics.
They watch The Donald rant and rave
While knowing it’s an absurd act.
Old white men aren’t enough --- he’ll
Have trouble with his third act.
