John Lewis just walked through Terminal 2 at DCA followed by what can only be called a rolling tidal wave of standing ovations.

that's his method. Didn't he stiff the clappers from his initial rallies when he started his run for president?

That's the most pathetic thing about Trump's traveling applause corps.
