This is why Joe isn't the Democrats' best candidate against Trump—and this is *too important* to America to get wrong. If Joe can't handle this situation without implying a voter is fat, lazy, and stupid, that's a serious problem in going up against Trump.
1/ Joe swore at him, insulted (JFC) all people who watch TV(!), challenged the voter to feats of physical strength, called him a liar, turned his back on him... This is about as badly as a politician can handle a situation like this, and if Democrats don't see that, we're doomed.
2/ I'd also point out that if we can't see what Joe had today as a "meltdown," we have a pretty damn gendered view of politics, as no woman in politics could act like this without a huge percentage of voters—men *and* women—saying "Oh, poor dear, she's not ready for primetime..."
3/ All this said, media must *never*, *ever* report on an incident like this without noting—over and over and over—that Donald Trump is responsible for incidents like this *over a dozen times*...*per rally*. If that isn't hammered home over and over to viewers, it's misreporting.
