out of the Blue

Nate Silver missed the Trump phenomenon
and counted Bernie Sanders a lost cause
but Jeb whom he had laid his wager on
snatched grim defeat from Victory's sharp jaws
prognosticators seek clues in the past
to  conjure what occurs next on the screen
but Trump has left the punditry aghast
the bigoted embodiment of 'mean'
this stage requires a hero Bernie-sized
who doesn't lick the donor class's boots
the revolution won't be televised
while pundits bray, we've mobilized the roots
the People want a candidate who's real
to give the workingman a new New Deal
