Many people would be surprised about their so called friends that do this. I donated my time to a Stock car pit crew. I parked around back one day and no one knew i was there and as i walked in the owner/slash driver was making fun of me and trying to imitate my limp. A true snake in the grass gutless wonder.
I just waited my time until i knew he would be walking in as i did my little impression of his stupid act of hitting a wall with the stock car and how stupid he was for using a tie rod end from a junk yard right in front of the guys he was mocking me in font of.

Hey! I have a million of them. Whining about it won't put a dime in your pocket or change your life or them either. Some times the proper revenge can make you feel so good.

Who else can we even consider voting for? Rubio? Clinton? Those 2 lie so much, they make Trump look good. Trump is too honest sometimes. And he only lies about meaningless subjects. Trump by process of elimination. He's the only choice, it's a one person race.

I understand why there are people who find a number of Trump's actions offensive--like this one w/ the reporter, but I don't understand the outrage. I'm not disagreeing w/ anyone's right to be upset w/ Trump, but I think some are getting too upset about him-- wasting too much emotional energy over him.

I mean really, don't you find most of the major political players' actions today typically offensive?

The degree of offense against the public, whether through spoken, veiled "politicalese" (lies) or socially damaging policy--it's all the same.

If we decide to vote, looks like we'll have to pick our poison. Who's going to make some desperately needed changes or who's going maintain the toxic status quo?

If we're going to vote based on decency and character alone-- I think Bernie's the only qualifying candidate who comes close--even though you might disagree w/ his political views.

It's obviously fake outrage designed to sink Trump's poll numbers. When you see the same headlines and angles from WaPo, NYT, and all the liberal media outlets, it's pretty obvious they're acting in tandem. And, whaddya know, at the same time, we hear rumors that the GOP establishment candidates are looking to join forces in attacking Trump. All this stuff does is prove that everything Trump says about money in politics is accurate.

Do we really want the person who represents the United states on the world stage to be the sort that makes fun of disabled people in front of millions?

Im with you on Bernie, hes the most honest of the lot.

I think you are right on everything except one.....its not fake outrage. People really are offended by nonsense like this.

I found it distasteful. I'm sure most others did as well. But outrage? He made fun of a guy. The media is outraged about that, but they aren't concerned with our big ME ally chopping off 50 heads in the near future?

Trump really didn't even know the guy. Let's be fair here. There is no way Trump would make fun of a disability.

Nobody donates more to Americans with disabilities than Trump.

Media is desperate and dishonest, just like Hillary and Rubio.

It's not about Trump......people may dislike someone making fun of someone with a disability but not as much as constantly and consistently being lied to by the establishment politicians.
