With the billionaires backing him, it’s going to be on us as individual Americans to make sure Trump doesn’t end up in the White House again. That means not just voting but talking with people around you, volunteering and donating

    I mean, Howard Dean talked into an unadjusted microphone one time. That’s totes just as bad.

      Also, the “liberal media” seemed to really play that up. IIRC, there are some questions about just how loud his whoop really was.

      Also, though: he is a Democratic candidate. None of this applies to the cons. The way things are conducted by the liberal media are that everyone affiliated with the Democratic Party must be as pure as the driven snow, not look silly, make zero gaffes, and so on (and even then - what was said of Hillary was that she was “overprepared” - wtaf - so even when Democrats don’t violate the rules, they’ll make up a new set of criteria that Democrats have supposedly violated to play the 'both sides" card). Republicans can do just whatever the fuck they want; it’s expected that they’ll be off the rails; cons will be cons and all that.
