What a Debate!

The Trump v. Harris TV showdown

Had long been anticipated,

And Trump's usual windstorm of lies

Continued to blow unabated.

 

I saw a text by a friend who wrote,

"That was amazing. Wasn't Trump great?"

I had to ask, "Were she and I

Both watching the same debate?"

 

Trump repeated again and again

His strange and false information

Regarding our economy,

Roe v. Wade, and immigration.

 

He couldn't speak on policies

Or even describe his healthcare plan.

Refusing to look at Harris, he looked

More like a weak, pitiful man.

 

When talking about a world leader

Who sang his praises, what did he do?

He referred to Viktor Orbán--

A demagogue, through and through!

 

Harris spoke of child tax credits,

Job creation, business assistance,

Energy plans, women's choice,

Moving forward, and coexistence.

 

True, a couple of times she did

Sidestep her questions; that I admit.

For Trump, that is par for the course.

And when he's pressed, he throws a fit.

 

How could any voter be

Undecided when it's so clear

Who is fit to lead us forward

Toward a hopeful, new frontier?
