Humpty Trumpty

Sun., April 9, 2017

Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall (to be paid for by Mexico) not caring for truth and justice at all. With Rep. McMorris Rodgers at his side, he pointed at inauguration crowds and the popular vote and lied. Humpty Trumpty promised to make health care affordable and available to all, and they did nothing but fall in the polls as the Republican majority in the House broke and could not be put back together again.

Humpty Trumpty “won” the electoral vote (perhaps with Russian help), but failed to win the popular one. He and Rep. McMorris Rodgers would do well to remember the importance of truth and justice, and the power of the popular vote come elections another fall.
