Show tunes or lines that describe the election

Since those of us in the United States are coming to the end of an interminable election that is the craziest many of us can remember (even worse than the 2000 hanging chad mess that gave us the Iraq war), I thought it would be time to apply whole songs or lines from plays, musicals, or songs that sum it up. Here are the two I thought of, but I know there are tons of others:

"You try my patience. Make your choice!" -- The Phantom to Christine, "The Phantom of the Opera."

"One week [day] more before the storm..." -- "Les Miz," One Day More.

I'm sure our snarkmeisters can think of much better ones.

Audrey Liebross

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

"Thank Goodness" from Wicked seems to do the job.

Hillary -- "I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake!"

Trump -- "Like some terrible [orange] blizzard throughout the land [he] flies...!"

"The Last Midnight"

To my angry Bernie and third party supporting friends.
You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice.
I'm not good I'm not nice I'm just right. I'm the witch. You're the world!

and if you-know-who wins:
I'm leaving you alone. You can tend the garden. It's yours.
Separate and alone. Everybody down on all fours.

"Want you Gone" by Jonathan Coulton (not a showtune but it applies)

To the GOP post election:
"You've got your
short sad life left
That's what I'm counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now I only want you gone"

Why did they ever cut the Suffragette element and song from the Mary Poppins stage show? It made Winifred Banks such a great character.

From Little Shop of Horrors (the title of which also fits)

"What a creepy thing to be happening"

From Evita:

It's annoying that we have to fight elections for our cause/

The inconvenience--having to get a majority/

If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause/

There are other ways of establishing authority

(We have ways of making you vote for us, or at least of making you abstain)

From Legally Blonde from the the perspective of the Greek Chorus talking to Hillary

"Honey whatcha cryin at?
You're not losing [the presidency] to that
Both [his] hair and shoes are flat
Why is [he] so rude?"
