Presidential Race 2016

Before I begin I just want to let you know that I support Kasich

So I am biased towards him, and I hope he makes it

This presidential race

Takes us way back to when

People burned “witches”

And said amen

Donald Trump has people believing that

He’ll “Make America Great Again”

Leaving some chanting “Trump!” and others giving their head a scratch

He’s leading the poles, don’t you know?

But maybe people are upset with the government and want to overthrow

In fact that might just be the case

Proving this to be a historical presidential race

Rubio saying Trump has small hands and an orange face

Look what Trump’s doing, it’s a now a reality show

People are laughing, while they support a racist who must hate rainbows

And people say he’s honest, but the conversations just go wherever his mind goes

People still support this arrogant man, my mind’s blown!

He loves to win, win, win the delegates at every state

But my mind just spin, spin, spins as his message just isn’t straight

He gets pounded from all angles, but somehow still manages to win the debates

He’s looking to sit in the oval office while filling his supporters with hate

Unfortunately, he is not the only problem

Republicans won’t vote for a Democrat because they say they’re too much like Obama

The separation will always remain, there will always be that drama

If it’s not skin color, it’s gotta be something else that separates

Democrats versus Republicans, they don’t associate

And can some candidate please show a definitive stance on the economy?

Can you stop changing your minds and stay solid like concrete?

And back to what I was saying about how this race is like a reality show

Climate change, immigration, racial injustice, and jobs

The aforementioned are not being mentioned just making fun of wives

What’s next making fun of each other’s moms?

No republican candidate sounds mature when either talks

It’s like Cruz and Trump are children stuck in the sandbox

I’m waiting for some more dignified debate between them but they don’t stop

 

Ted Cruz is referred to as the republican robot

And Hillary Clinton might show her emails, but might not

There seems to be a trust issue that is present

Like Bernie Sanders doesn’t trust wall street or the top 1 percent

The democratic party is showing signs of splitting

The young vote for Bernie and african-americans vote for Hillary, who is winning

Now whether you want to make america great again or trust ted

Or want hillary for america or a future to believe in,

there’s always something everyone forgets

John Kasich, the governor from Ohio

He’s the only one with no negative associations, but what do I know!

 

This presidential race of 2016

Is drowned in drama and negativity

Many wonder where our country is headed

All the candidates concern me so that is why I’m venting

First year voter sitting right here in front of you

And thank you all for letting me be blunt with you
