Tips on scoring the debate
All based on what they say or do
The scale is plus to minus eight
Where zero’s ho-hum, nothing new
If Trump shows up, we’ll give him three
He might have chickened out, you see
If Clinton shows, it’s zero score
She’s done this many times before
For every time Trump doesn’t lie
That’s so unusual, score him five
Since Clinton’s answers will be true
That’s so ho-hum, we’ll give her two
When Trump upstaging faces makes
Let’s score him one for humor’s sake
Should Clinton crack a joke, oh my!
That’s so unusual; score her five
If by the end, Trump’s still aware
We’ll score him eight for standing there
And Hillary? She’ll coast right through
For old time’s sake we’ll give her two
So be prepared on Monday night
To score each candidate just right
Results can change the nation’s fate
A lot’s at stake in this debate
