Democrats Had a Good Night

the Democrats had a good night, Trilonnet

the Democrats had a good night.
Sadly, Republicans did not.
Both sides now playing the blame games,.

Calling each other awful names
The Democrats feeling they are hot.
Democrats are ready for the fight.

Will the Republicans see the light?
Republicans are in a tight spot.
Both sides making dubious claims.

President calling out mean nicknames.
For Democrats, will it all be for naught?
The Republicans had quite a fright.

Everyday Americans feel quite mad.
Public feelings things are very bad.
