the centre cannot hold

Trump makes it personal to shun debates
when he can't dictate who controls the mikes
campaign of prejudices and of hates
instead of policies the public likes
his int'rests don't align with his core crowd's
he has no love for 99 percent
but they're enamored just because he's loud
and he exploits them just because they're dense
if you want substance, this is not the place
the ClownCar runs on bile more than on facts
while Sanders runs the issue-driven race
the GOP baits Mexicans and Blacks
the backroom bosses hang their heads and cringe
their party's been delivered to the Fringe
