He/she went to the school
Of saying a lie enough
Makes it become true

It was a case of
Me, myself, and I versus
Me, myself and I

If you were not swayed
By the debate, then you fell
Asleep early on

The fur was flying
And that was just in the Spin
Room, the claws came out

The hunter puts out
Traps and waits for the result
Oh, what sweet results

Double down and spread
Toil and trouble. Stir the pot
What floats to the top?

Upstart versus pro
Like Rocky versus the champ
Who gets the title?

A republican
Says Trump has learned a new skill
He cleaned his own clock
