The Wreck of the Hillary Clinton - Gordon Lightfoot parody

Update, 6/18: I had no idea this would become popular. I am a nobody who had an idea and did this in one take on a laptop while listening to the lyrics in headphones. All criticisms of my singing voice are correct.
After the 1984 election, the Capitol Steps wrote a parody of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" called "The Wreck of the Walter Fritz Mondale" about that presidential campaign. Since Trump beat Hillary largely on the strength of his win in the Midwestern states (especially Michigan), I decided to do the same for the 2016 campaign, writing, singing, and recording this song using Lightfoot's structure. Lyrics below:
The legend lives on from old Brooklyn on down
Of the wreck of the Hillary Clinton
The White House was hers, they had told her, for sure
There’s no way that the orange man will get in
With a loada donor cash many million dollars more
Than Don Trump’s enterprise had control of
The Clinton campaign was to suffer much pain
When the votes of November changed motives
Her crew was the pride of the liberal side
Coming out from the Democrat contest
As candidates go, she was way worse than most
But she had on her side media broadcasts
Concluding that she couldn’t win on herself
She set out to tear down the Donald
Little did she know he would go on to show
He was more like the one they called Ronald
When fall came around their campaigns hit the ground
Both of them had their share of misfortune
Hillary fell and Donald couldn’t tell
Whether he should even try to win
The debates were all tests of president-ness
And most said that Hillary won them
For in all three affairs Donald dwelt on his cares
Plus he did have to deal with some nose phlegm
When October came, the surprises were out
And boy were they hard on the Trump team
A “pussy” remark gave his party a rout
His campaign almost lost all of its steam
But Donald held on and refused to be gone
Though many protested against him
The rest of the fall he doubled down on the gall
That had earned him his primary big win
Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When elections turn minutes to hours?
The pundits had said Comey’s letter was dead
But the night defied their guessing powers
At first it had seemed that they’d all shout “YAAS QUEEN”
When the exit polls presaged her victory
Yet the Donald came through where the Great Lakes are blue
In the states where the weather is wintry
The pundits were told that the Blue Wall would hold
No way the Great Lakes could become red
But the night would go on to prove them all wrong
On Penn, Michigan, and Wisconsin
As farther below, the swing states would go
The Great Lakes had pushed Trump to conquest
They voted for him even though he had been
Rated by most as dishonest
In a swanky new pad in Brooklyn they cried
For the doom of the Democrat Party
On Twitter they wailed for their efforts had failed
Though they thought that their base had been hearty
The legend lives on from old Brooklyn on down
Of the wreck of the Hillary Clinton
Elections, they learned, must be actually earned
Lest the votes of November go Trumpin.’

Whats scary is the sheer volume of fraudulent voter ballots that were discovered by the tens of thousands in multiple states , that didn't get sent in. Also, as of 2018 the Clintons friend owns roughly 85% of the electronic voting machines. Thus the DemocraticSocialistClubOfPedophiliaAndAlphabetGangToiletCouncil has a very dangerous possibility in their hands. Clintons colusion with the Chinese Government ALONE should have had them tarred and feathered then hauled off and ... The Chinese Government subsidized tens of thousands of factories to manufacture and sell auto parts into the American auto parts industry for far less than the cost of manufacturing until they bankrupt a Massive swath of American companies and then bought them for pennies on the dollar. Over 50,000 AMERICAN AUTO PARTS COMPANIES WERE SHUDDERED due to this a long with all of those middle class jobs and small businesses. In Wisconsin alone every Metal Foundry and Steel Mill in the State, roughly 121 were eviscerated essentially overnight except for 3 that hung on for a few years. Almost all of the recycled metal was sent to China. They also passed programs like Arnold Schwarzenegger in California, paid $500- $1000 per car in any condition to crush them at the cost of tax payers.. then went the steel to Chins aswell.. Also also used the carbon certificates to allow poisons dumped into the ocean, lakes, rivers, through smoke stacks into the sky etc.. What Clinton/China did to the Aftermarket Auto parts Industry of America. They did to tens of thousands of other small businesses and products as well as allowed agriculture and meats imported from China. As well the Department of Energy okd China to build solar arrays in the US , one is $5,000,000,000 ... As well as the natural gas infrastructures and utility companies China now owns and sells America the sun now. Harry Reeds son got away with selling US Federal Parks lands to China.. one deal was land valued at over $28 million dollars which was sold to China for just over $4million..... there is so much worse as well. Everytime you go into a box store like Wal Mart, realize all of those products were mainly made In the US and locally . Now all of those local businesses are buried and gone in the same way as the automotive. The Contortion of NAFTA, must be brought to justice. I'm glad President Donald Trump has hammered on China's financial rape of America. Now let's get our EDUCATION SYSTEM BACK !

[@sparkynm156]

@Phil Perri I'm with you. It has been absolutely WW3 against America for over 20 years now and what's worse is we don't even realize it. And worse even is that then DemonCraps are shooting themselves in the head execution style every time they open their mouths, and they don't even know. Hell, just try to have a conversation with one and they either start yelling about Orange Cheetos or they start just freaking out. It's really funny at first.. every time, but then I realize what's at stake..

Before Congress, it is said, She never gives up her dead., "So what does it really matter?" Two years later, now we wait, With water pouring in, For this The Final Explosion.

So you consider a bomb less serious than a bullet? No wonder Chump is such a narcissist. How could you no feel smarter than others when your base is so stupid. I've got a feeling you're not that dumb. You must live in some other country where you don't have to really pay attention to what's really going on here.

Craig Nelson, And what does Gordon and the Families of The Edmond Fitzgerald tragedy think of your using this musical tribute to those who died for a cheap parting shot against the, 'singers' 'personal target, former Secretary of state Clinton. Word of advise, stay on dry land for Death and Irony go hand in hand.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

Holly Mulchi ... Hey high horse rider. You should learn a bit of simple grammar before you try to chop down someone who did a terrific job of story telling as an homage to Gordon's popular and poignant ballad. Since you probably think your statement is written well, I'll go ahead and display a couple of your errors. First, do and does are not the same thing. Because you referred to multiple people, do is the proper term. Advise and advice are also not the same. Verb vs. noun. Now, perhaps you would like to lash out at me because I have the audacity to pick apart your statement. That's fine, please do. Or should I say, please does?

[@JW...-oj5iw]

BTW, the ship that sank in Lake Superior and became the subject of Mr. Lightfoot's ballad is known by almost everyone as the Edmund Fitzgerald. Until your comment enlightened us, who knew it was spelled incorrectly all these years?
