To Coin a Phrase

Growing up in urban Philadelphia during the 1930s there was much unemployment. There were men coming thru the alley offering their labor for a meal. On the street side there were many children on the block at play. One day a man arrived with a pony in tow trying to induce the mothers to permit their children to have their pictures taken astride the pony. Fast forward eighty years and the day before the great debate I mentioned to my wife that D. Trump reminded me of a "one trick pony." - the definition of which is "a person with only one special feature, talent or area of expertise." During the post debate discussions a pundit was quoted using the phrase "a one trick pony" - Egad! the phrase was catching on. So let's saddle up and see if CNN can corral this bucking bronco on 9/16/15.
