Debatable

In one straight line across the stage,
Of varied temperament and age,
The Democratic hopefuls spoke
To rouse supporters or provoke.

They disagreed in certain ways
And rarely gave each other praise 
But tried to prove, to all who heard,
That they could get the country stirred.

By turns dynamic and laid-back 
Each other's views they did attack 
While all who watched were left to wonder
Who would rise and who would blunder.

Still, one or two will hit the stump
With just one goal - defeating Trump.
