The fact is, presidential politics has become a game of inches.
The GOP/corporate right-wing, it seems, never really considers the consequences of their actions.
Everything sells. Like integrity. Like democracy. Like truth. Like deeds.
My experience tells me that any time you hear people laughing on a sitcom, it's the writers who happen to be closest to the microphones - not the audience.
I tend to be very relaxed on stage, but the nerves have to come out somehow.
The right-wing just loves making a big entrance.
