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?"
From FOLLIES:
"There is no hope"

The opening of Assassins - Hail to the Chief played like a Carnival/Circus tune.
If the orange lizard wins, my motto will be, "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!" (It's a show title, but I don't know if it's also a song).
From Evita, "And the money kept rolling in."
Not a Broadway song, but "You're so Vain," seems to apply here.
If it's the orange lizard, "Master of the house, he's a worthless twit, comforter, philosopher, and lifelong ****, etc. etc."
"Great! F***!" ~Rent~
"President [name of your least favorite candidate]. Good luck." ~Hamilton~
Watching everything going down this week, I keep singing, over and over and over in my head:
"Why don't you just shoot me in the head, cuz you know I'd be better off dead!" from BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON. I don't bother finishing the line. I just repeat that one sentence...
Because this all just seems like the new unfiltered reality in politics and how elections will run...
"Got my eyes though they don't see as far now
They see more 'bout how things really are now"
I'm Here The Color Purple
And for either of your least favorite candidate
Celie: "You a low down dirty dog, that's what's wrong"
Do something special
Anything special
And you'll get better because...
You're more than just a mimic
When you gotta gimmick
Take a look how different we are!

"We know it's lose-lose/But if you had to choose--" from Hamilton's "The Election of 1800" of course, heehee.

Ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk, talk, talk, talk, bicker, bicker, bicker, ya can talk all ya wanna, but it's different then it was.
Never worries ‘bout his line?
Never worries ‘bout his line. Or a doggone thing. He's just a bang beat, bell ringing, Big haul, great go, neck or nothin', rip roarin' every time a bull's eye salesman.
Tell us what’s his line, what's his line?
He's a fake, and he doesn't know the territory!
Look, what do ya talk?
What do ya talk?
What do ya talk?
What do ya talk?
Don't know how he does it but he lives like a king and he dallies and he gathers and he plucks and he shines...
And when the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him!
Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir.
When the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him!
Yessssir, Yessssir.
But he doesn't know the territory!

Class from CHICAGO . . . pretty much my assessment of all politics, not just this current election.
Whatever happened to fair dealing,
And pure ethics,
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the Ass?
Whatever happened to class?
With time rushing by, what would you do?
With the clock running down, what would you do?
Re a H Clinton presidency: "Don't be afraid it won't be perfect. The only thing to be afraid of really is that it won't be."
Re those eligible to vote: "History has its eyes on you."
"Stay alive until this horror show has passed." ~Hamilton~
"Just breathe." ~In The Heights~
Encouraging people to vote: "This is where we take a stand." ~Falsettos~
I woke up with "It's Today" from Mame in my head, and have a feeling it's going to be stuck there all day.
