In my opinion, there should be no further debates. What we saw last night was not a debate, it was a debacle.
The First Debate of Twenty-twenty
By Franklin Price

The first debate of twenty-twenty
Was a sad state I must say
The moderator Wallace
Kept getting in the way
The rules were soon abandoned
As they left the starting gate
Was a shame that it all happened
Nothing, of it all, was great
Most of the mess was caused by Trump
He interrupted, left and right
Was not there for debating
Had come there for a fight
The media against him
Had him losing from the start
That hasn't changed since his election
He never should have taken part
No holds barred were evident
As the minutes moved along
I'm still voting him as president,
But what he did, last night, was wrong
Four years of frustration
Was his being on the stage
Asses always out to get him
Keeps him in a constant rage
Last night it finally happened
Could no longer keep it in
More debates, for him, are foolish
Because he'll do it all again.
What you see, is what you get
When the president is Trump
If he's not re-elected
We'll be a socialistic dump
I wish there were more choices
But, of course, that's not to be.
The first Tuesday of November
We will see what we will see
