negative campaign

if Trump's too prissy to shake voters' hands
it's hard to see what keeps him in the race
his platform sways on ever-shifting sands
and everything he's built is in poor taste
the orange spokesman for inchoate rage
contributes nothing on War, Peace, or Health
yet he's the posterchild of a sick age
when merit is presumed to track with wealth.
This should be cake had she makes no mistakes
but lawyerly evasions mar her speech
she lacks Bill's charm to cover what is fake
and losing this one's always within reach
two less loved candidates have never run
so many ache to mark their ballots "none"
