First of all, that's not dancing.

Corporate media, no matter how much you sanewash it, that display by cheato at his "townhall" yesterday was not dancing. Not even by nursing home standards. It was cringey beyond belief to anyone under ninety and most of those over ninety as well. Standing in one place and doing the double jerk with a creepy grin on your face is not a "party" either. Andrea Mitchell may giggle and call it a "dance party", but what it was was terrifying.

It was also an easy target for ridicule. I hope our side takes advantage of it.

It was all a good time dance party according to Mitchell. There was no mention of the exchange about being hard to stand up (?) after his ear injury. Nothing but good times.

adoration. He was listening to his favorite songs while they gazed upon him. He was probably also high on speed.

And his base would still vote for him.

I think there's still time for something this crazy to happen, him busting out a racial epithet or something worse.
