Trump's presidential bid gave hers a lift
no fine distinctions that might turn on charm
to run against this clown's a cosmic gift
we'll settle for the one who'll do less harm
yet many voters threaten to sit out
or demonstrate their pique by voting "Stein"
a luxury they'd have were this a rout
but not when it will come down to the line
a bouffant fascist surfs an angry tide
of Whites who've seen their privilege erode
they back a strongman out of wounded pride
who barely hides his bigotry in code
although she's not the One for whom we yearn
with Bill as coach, she'll learn to feign the Bern
