Mike was confused. And Harris was almost laughing at him, she could see him clapping.

Of greatness, couldn't help himself. What, with Joe AND Kamala right there. I think he saw who were the adults in the room. I don't think he gets a lot of exposure to that.

and then told Iowa to "get over it" after the latest tragedy, Johnson looked like he was signaling Trump's comments were not right. I'm sure it wasn't what he intended, nor what his Party wanted him to signal, but it sure came off as disgust with Trump.

to what President Biden was saying. I even saw him nearly stand up a couple of times when VP Harris rose to her feet. But he caught himself, squirming a bit.

Shame on him.
