The Last Debate is Over By Franklin Price 10/20/2016 The last debate is over, and here I am once more, Doing my due diligence to try to show the score. Don't think either candidate hit the ball out of the field. No home runs were hit last night, neither candidate would yield. Unlike the other two debates, that were only that in name, This one was the closest to a real debating game. Questions asked were pertinent the answers mostly good. The differences were evident if you listened as you should. The results I saw, as follows, how I viewed it at the end; I'll try to be objective on this you may depend. It's really very clear to me, what each will try to do for us; One leaves us at the terminal, the other lets us on the bus. The Hillary came well prepared and, surprise, the Donald too; Mostly on the subject, more than I thought that they would do Banged heads with all their reasoning, raising more than just one lump. Here's what I saw this country gets from both the Clinton and the Trump Clinton marches down the path of established status quo Trying to give it all away to everyone we know. Trying to make all equal; every solitary soul Dependent on the government, independent freedom in the hole. The Trump is quite the opposite he knows that all's not right, The change an uphill battle, at times an ugly fight. A promise to make country first; that we should obey the law. If we don't like it, change it, but defend it tooth and claw. The rich take full advantage of laws that make them so Some are even known to fill politicians' pockets up with dough All others, we the people, have little say, with little voice. The only one to blame is us; long ago we made that choice Progress overcame us, independence thrown away. We now work for the rich man, cursing our plight most every day, Asking more of government; please save us from this plight. Protect us and defend us and make everything alright We forget it's We the People, at least the Constitution said, Who should control the government. Why can't we get that through our heads? So make your choice, and cast your vote, go to your polling place And don't complain what happened, if you don't show your face.
