But he won't be able to take advantage of the opportunity

The Democratic donkey (injured Democratic Party) has both arms wrapped (sore dry wing and sore wet wing) and in slings, he stares down at a box of matches (tradition) that is close to an explosive (third term--cannon-cracker) tied to the tail of the G.O.P. elephant. Atop the G.O.P. elephant sits Calvin Coolidge (probable candidacy of Coolidge).
