I'm embarrassed for these convention delegates

Watching them dance to Rockin the Casbah is groan inducing.

It looks like Uncle Sam threw up all over the place.

I think every delegate there made a quick stop at a Cracker Barrel for convention attire.

Who are these people? They can't be real. They are all caricatures of the worst image of Americans.

they think this makes them look cool, or at least like their having fun while they're waiting to put the Organge Man over the top. Then they will return to their own poor pathetic lives as GOP operatives longing to Make America Great Again.

too kindly to their music being played in a neo-fascist gathering.

You just want to tell them, "you know people can actually SEE you". It really is embarrassing to watch. I don't think there is a single soul in that place has any rhythm.

I, on the other hand, get a kick out of watching ours. There is always such love, harmony, and unity among them that when they do bust out in dance, it's hilarious! Plus, we always get the good musical talent, so they have great stuff to dance to!
