Jennifer Granholm let loose with an epic campaign ode, at the Michigan DNC Breakfast.

These are just some of the great stanzas. The poem is pretty long, so if you are inclined, the link is at the bottom. Enjoy!


Poor Republicans are just now coming to grips
With the reality of the Trumpocalypse.
I’m intrigued by Trump’s psychology
Seems his whole rationale for running is : He!
Why does his bluster seem so sure?
Is it because he’s so insecure?
His language so forceful, his words so bold–
He seems super strong … for a seven year old.

Now, we could care less that he’s twice divorced,
But we do care ’bout the jobs he’s outsourced.
He boasts, he’ll “bring back the jobs that were let go!”
But he manufactures in China and Mexico!

A scammer, a chiseler – some have called Trump a thief
Do we want as our president a swindler-in-chief?
His books say they’ll show you to profit heaven,
So why do they all end at Chapter 11?

Then there’s his anti-immigrant rants and racism —
And he just reeks with his own narcissism.
Building yuuuge walls are part of his plans;
Must all be related to the size of his …. hands.

And his issues with women and what it reveals!
Seems he only likes us in tiaras and heels.
Punish the women who exercise choice,
Criticizing the sound of Hillary’s voice,
Bleating out bile like a bloviating blowhard:
I think it’s time to play that woman card.

While Donald Trump thinks he will con you all too:
I ask you Democrats: will we turn this country blue?
So batten down the hatches, amass the artillery,
I know Michigan is ready for Hillary!
And for the future of the nation, it’s totally evident –
No finer words to us than Madam President!

Her speech at the 2012 Convention was one for the ages.

Thanks for sharing this, Siwsan!

Pretty sure I saw that on one of her Facebook posts.

And she is just as beautiful and lovely a person as you could ever hope for. I was lucky enough to meet her a number of times, while she was Governor. It was thanks to her that I got to meet John Kerry!

She has fire in the belly that really rocks me! I would dearly love to see her cut loose on the orange racist on national television.
