On Saturday
Hillary Clinton
walked in about a minute late
relaxed and unfazed
to the Democratic debate
on ABC
hearkening back
to the debate
on October 13th
when she joked
that it took her longer to pee
than her male colleagues
Rumor has it
she was actually tweeting Donald Trump
and his supporters
a "huge spoiler"
about the new Star Wars movie
namely that a black actor
plays a Stormtrooper
and smugly anticipating
the waves of support
in her direction
and the subsequent sycophancy
of Trump's followers
caused by such a revelation
when Trump complained
about the "politically correct" casting.
It's true no news stories exist
to corroborate that rumor
but at least that would explain
why Trump tweeted
"It was really strange
when Hillary was missing
from the podium last night.
Not very presidential!"
rather than criticizing ABC
for airing the debate
a minute too soon.
He seems truly hurt
and granted her campaign
is more than
a little hawkish
but he'll probably get over it
soon enough.
