Primary Challenge and Response

Made for TV political theater.

In politics tempers get short

Criticism provokes a retort 

The insults start small

But it’s winner-take-all

Bloodletting full contact sport.

So far much of the blood-letting has been on the Republican side, but with the New York primary coming up, where each claims a home state advantage, Bernie and Hillary are demanding equal time.

Bernie says she’s unqualified

Hillary says Bernie’s tongue-tied

Because he may shirk

Doing his homework.

That’s what happens when egos collide.
