“Donald Trump’s campaign is arguing that the Republican nominee would poll better than Hillary Clinton if those surveys accounted for ‘undercover’ Trump voters embarrassed to admit that they support him.”

My Secret Vote

(sing it with me)

Once I had a secret vote.
It needed utmost privacy.
The fact that I’m a masochist
Should stay unknown to all but me.

So I tell a little lie
When pollsters ask me what I’ll do:
“Oh, I’d never vote for Trump.
The man just makes me want to spew.”

*********************

I’d shout my secret from the highest hill!
Sadistic Donald Trump gives me a thrill!
But these words I cannot say
Until I’m in a booth on ballot day.

    Gee, can’t imagine why anyone would be embarrassed to admit supporting Trump.

    wayward: Shout it loud. Shout it proud.

    Profane: I think the concept in this case goes the other way.
