Worlds Apart

Clinton and Trump: debate number one.

I'm NOT going out on a limb

In saying her fans will still vote for her

While his will vote for him.

 

Trump's focus was all about change,

And change can be good, indeed.

But can a person like him bring about

The kind of change we need?

 

The man was often incoherent

And basically unprepared--

Not a wonderful strategy

For a debate that's aired.

 

Interrupting Clinton's ideas

And acting like a child,

He resorted to gibberish

While she remained unriled.

 

Fact checkers were going crazy--

Especially with D.T.

People still wonder how he ever

Became the nominee.

 

Trump says that Clinton lacks stamina.

To him she has no vitality.

But then, we know that he lives in

An alternate reality.

 

For ninety minutes he appeared

To heckle his own debate.

Can he show that he's for real?

It's getting kind of late.
