A few of them - mostly women, and especially women of color - have been getting there, but they get cut off so fast and then he stomps away. I wish just every member of the WH press corps would stop being so polite and deferential. He doesn't deserve it.

how much power the person controlling the button to the microphone has (well, maybe not funny, but it sure isn't fair!).
In real life, he "moves on" (pointing to someone else) and if it looks like "shit 'bout to happen" - off he goes, heading for his golden throne twitter machine to cry like the baby that he is.
