The Snake is a song and single released by American singer Al Wilson in 1968, and written by Oscar Brown in 1963. The lyrics tell a story inspired by Aesops fable of The Farmer and the Viper.
Republican candidate Donald Trump read the lyrics at several campaign rallies to illustrate his position on the Syrian refugee crisis.
Trump read The Snake at his Bloomington, Illinois earlier this year.

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
Oh well, she cried, Ill take you in and Ill take care of you
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heavens sake
Take me in oh tender woman, sighed the snakeShe wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake shed taking in had been revived
Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heavens sake
Take me in oh tender woman, sighed the snakeNow she clutched him to her bosom, Youre so beautiful, she cried
But if I hadnt brought you in by now you might have died
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heavens sake
Take me in oh tender woman, sighed the snakeI saved you, cried that woman
And youve bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now Im going to die
Oh shut up, silly woman, said the reptile with a grin
You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.
There are reports this week that Mitt Romney is a leading candidate for Secretary of State in the Trump administration.
Mitt Romney was a top critic of Donald Trump during the campaign. His quotes made it into several Hillary ads against Donald Trump.
Trump supporters unanimously hate the idea.
Mitt didn't like Trumps caddy behaviour and thought it unbecoming of a President. (probably true)
He's since seen Donald can be serious and they share some goals (amnesty not one of them).
Romney is a patriot and great at what he does...run things well and project a good image.
We'll see if they can work from the same script re: amnesty and Russia.
Lots of folks getting diaper rash from wadded panties on this. Winning hurts so bad that they need to find some way to convince themselves we actually lost.
In the words of Donald J Trump:
Seems that he understood Willard pretty well during the campaign. Mittens hasn't changed.
seems the psychology today is so much that being a winner is bad that people prefer to lose and whine. ugh.
There’s a difference in destroying a rival in a campaign and making use of potential talent once one is in power. Anyone who thinks Trump is naive enough to sabotage what he has worked so hard for hasn’t been paying attention and deserves no attention.
Yep - seem that far too many have bought into the metro-sexual role w/o their being aware of it. they feel guilty about winning and have to find ways to “rectify” it....
In that case, feel free to not attend.
I like Guiliani, but I think the left has something on him — perhaps not something legitimate, but something they can use against him to derail him AFTER he's confirmed. Romney has been vetted time and again. If Trump decides to offer him the Secretary of State position, and Romney accepts, he'll be a loyal and good SofS.
It’s not that Romney isn’t a conservative, it’s that he made that speech against Trump, where he also was basically calling us hateful.
I trust Trump to do the right thing, whatever it is.
Fair enough - Trump will also not be attending.
I know he won't attend to my comments. Now will he be attending the the thousands of tweets that are up on "#NeverRomney"? Don't know about that.
If he doesn't deserve a little bit of trust that he knows what he'd doing, then nobody does.
