Allow Me, to Intro-Deuce You, to a couple of Power Couples, along with their Vices...

Haven't U2 met, yet? If not, you're one of the few left. After they've been jet setting around. As in coming to your home, town, hall (together which make up those "town hall" events)..."we didn't miss you, did we...well, there's still time to de-posit, I mean post, I mean cast your vote(s)...as in early and often as you please...as you know we are here to...say whatever you find pleasing to your ears, what you yearn for, no matter your earning power...Yeah, that's what we are hear, tele-prompted to show you, our power as a couple...as in power brokers...pooring it on!"

As if: Never thought of them two-gether? It's like they're (old saying, don't take too literally) "glued at the hip" (if you look at the "footage" you'll notice it's more of a clasp, of hands, fists). Inseparable. As in a natural coupling...at least coming out together on what's termed the "campaign trail" A match made...in what used to be called "smoke filled" rooms, by "movers and shakers" which have been replaced, sign of the times, by the new "Influencers" who come out of the same, now mist filled rooms, to announce...who the One, "destined to be the next..." will be paired with, as in...

Podium pals: As when they first, hand-in-hand, or at least share a secret handshake, on center stage, for the very first time...take center stage. Where the host with the most...prior attention, gives way to..."let me introduce and tell you a little about my Veep, no-longer-a-creep...it was just a figure of speech, taken out of context...we all have slips of the tongues, right?" Forget and forgive (or is it the other way around?) — in any case, in the case of one veep on the creep (aspiring, that is), the one Waltzing around their (non)service record, whereas the party of the second part (VP hopeful 2.0) gave ad-Vance notice that the one he said he’d never be seen in public with, was now just a private matter, that had been settled behind the curtain…they both have their own foibles and fables. Vices R US…

Swinging Couple: Talk about "movers and shakers!" They get around to all the so-called "swing states" just about as fast as I can say "on your mark, jet set..." And stay there long enough to make their presents known, as the ones they promised yet another region-all...."what you make it Vegas stays in Vegas, no more taxes on your tips" It's as if someone tipped these this matched pair, off...

Musical Duet: "they make great music together, don't ya' think...?" Sure, same old song and dance, that we hear about every four years, these "lyres!" have actually been around since ancient times, and there's even, believe it or not...I'm not kidding...I really mean it, but only if you get out the vote, which you can simplify by voting what's called a "straight ticket" which is strange language when, considering this "bull" type of lyre (if you doubt my sincerity, fact check me, I dare ya!). And one which may, instead prompt you to go in "Halfsies" (when was the last time you heard, let alone, participated in such an event?). In voting lingo, ends up...  

Split ticket: One that starts almost as quick as the last vote puts the pair so-called "over-the-top" in which case even a one vote win becomes a "mandate from the people..." A mandate that includes "you go that way and I'll go this..." As in the jet setting couple who are no longer allowed to be on the same jet together, just in case...And who, just after inaugural dance, celebrate a parting of the ways, as in living in separate housing...not talking different "West, East wing" here but separate residences all together...just about as odd as if they, after exchanged, as in musical cheers (as in you cheer for me, then...) 

Role Reversal: As in "You always had (aims on) my back, now I have yours..." AKA, "Don't get too comfortable, these things can turn...on a dime...the voting public can be so fickle...Et tu, Brute?" 

Odd couples: That somehow make it work, for at least four years -- even with their Vices (maybe they're on to something😏)

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
