The Republican Establishment
Is lowering the flag
They see the fight as hopeless
And she’s got it in the bag
The polls have been all over
And they’re tailored to deceive
But the ones that show him losing
Are the ones that they believe
Our candidates are cautious
Cause they don’t know what to do
Ask for their opinion
And they’ll answer, “Donald who?”
I hope they find their courage
For I’d really like to be with them
Our only hope this fall
Is if the Democrats agree with them
Her inner circle’s busy
As they plan for the transition
While all the little people plot
And jockey for position
Increasing the donations
Their foundation folks can rake in
Preparing for the pay cut
That Bill Clinton will be takin’
Much is unreported
And more revelations loom
But for them the whiff of scandal
Is provocative perfume
They’re popping the champagne
And they’re decanting the liqueur
Let’s hope the celebration
Is a little premature
Just like the lesser pundits
And the 16 that debated him
They’ll tell you the mistake
Was that they underestimated him
So do what you think best
And as your better self advises
But remember that October
Has been famous for surprises.
