    And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is Donald Trump and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Donald Trump. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, Donald Trump. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

      The fairness doctrine remains in place for electoral candidates (well, it’s called the Equal Time rule or something, but same idea). If you give one “major” candidate a prime time interview, you have to offer the same treatment to the other. Trump declined the interview.

      This is part of why voting third party is not a waste: imagine if 60 Minutes were legally obligated to host PSL or Green Party for a sit down interview every time they gave one of the Ghouls a time slot.
