\"From<\/a>

From \u201cTop of the Ticket\u201d cartoon by David Horsey \/ Los Angeles Times<\/p><\/div>\n

The second presidential debate is next\u00a0Monday, and I, for one, can’t wait. \u00a0That’s when\u00a0the gloves really come off and\u00a0the\u00a0Donald dukes it\u00a0out\u00a0with Hill-Bill for the Hill.<\/p>\n

Hey, Trump! \u00a0Time to get substantive and stop with all your\u00a0“I am the greatest” crap. \u00a0Besides, you’re\u00a0no Muhammad Ali. \u00a0You’re more like Humpty Dumpty.<\/p>\n

Remember the\u00a0nursery rhyme that begins:”Humpty Dumpty\u00a0sat on a wall, Humpty had a great fall…”?<\/p>\n

I have my own rendition:<\/p>\n

Humpty Trumpty wants a big wall.<\/p>\n

Humpty Trumpty\u2019s gonna have a great fall.<\/p>\n

All of the Democrats and \u00a0Republicans, too,<\/p>\n

Are asking the same question I now put to you:<\/p>\n

What kind of “great fall” will\u00a0Humpty Trumpty have?<\/p>\n

A victory as P.O.T.U.S. or a plummeting at\u00a0the polls?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Humpty Dumpty and Humpty Trumpty have a lot in common.<\/p>\n

According to one legend, Humpty Dumpty wasn’t an egg.<\/p>\n

And Humpty Trumpty is certainly no egghead.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, Humpty Dumpty was\u00a0\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>cannon<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well,\u00a0Humpty Trumpty is a loose canon.<\/p>\n

You never know what he’s gonna say or do from one day to the next.<\/p>\n

Last Fall, in Iowa, he promised voters if elected he’d change his hairstyle.<\/p>\n

Must have realized: presidents don’t have time for origami.<\/p>\n

And yet, he’s still leading his troops in his favorite\u00a0chant: “We shall overcomb!”<\/p>\n

Recently, the Donald came to\u00a0L.A. NOT wearing\u00a0his “Make America Great Again” hat. \u00a0It was in his hand. \u00a0His\u00a0war chest had dwindled down to a mere $1.3 mil. \u00a0So some local mucky-mucks threw him a fundraiser. \u00a0The amount top donors were asked to contribute was YUGE! $449k a couple.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0what did they get for 449 thousand smackeroos? \u00a0A photo with the Donald grabbing their check and a lousy dinner:\u00a0Trump Steaks\u00a0burnt to a crisp on a Kaiser roll. \u00a0Choice of\u00a0smashed potatoes or fallen angel hair pasta. \u00a0A veggie\u00a0medley of corn,\u00a0cauliflower ears, and Wiki leeks. All the Brut Reserve from son Eric’s winery they\u00a0could swallow. And for\u00a0dessert, one of those fruit\u00a0and whipped cream concoctions known as\u00a0a Raspberry Fool.<\/p>\n
