By Jon Nixon
Allowing himself a moment of reflection in the dawn’s early light, he tidied his unruly hair. The land of the free was almost in his grasp: the home of the brave ready to vote him in.
He didn’t have Kennedy’s looks, and he certainly didn’t have the brains of Adams, nor could he be as popular as Reagan, but he believed.
He grinned indulgently straightening his tie. Swathes of the populous would elect a cartoon character if it told them what they wanted to hear.
Confidently, he fed on their desperation…their apathy.
The nervous world could only watch and wait.
How appropriate, especially this year.
Ah yes, Jon. Very perceptive political comment/characterization. You’ve said it all in a few words. Great job!
Thank you Bobby 🙂
Yup. You’ve portrayed it excellently in 101 words. A pity these swathes of the populous wouldn’t see it in 1000000000001 words.
Really enjoyed the read! (Interesting your name is Nixon!)
Ha ha…no relation ! As a Brit, the US election circus amazes me 🙂
