I have no problem with Trump running for office, but the more and more time he spends in the public eye, the less and less I think of his character.
You are in the Majority of Conservatives, Thankfully

Whether Trump was making fun of this man's handicap or not, he's a jackass as evidenced by his clown act behind the podium in your video clip clear for everyone to see.

Why any American would vote for that jackass is beyond me.
"Why any American would vote for that jackass is beyond me"

Trump would be the last person I would vote for, but if you don't see the frustration that so many Americans have with the current Administration then you wouldn't understand.

He has insulted too many groups of people for that to happen and the more he licks the boots of his fans with more of the same obnoxious behavior the more he turns off the general population who will be driven to the polls to vote for anyone but Trump.
As Edward Snowden proved the "Lying" by the current Administration is one of the reasons why Trump has any traction in the first place.

I understand the frustration people have for the Administration. If you include the do nothing House and Senate in there, I have the same frustration. But electing a dangerous, loudmouth clown is not the solution to making our government work properly again. Supporting efforts to overturn Citizens United and getting big money out of politics is what needs to happen and Trump isn't supporting that. If he's elected, the same do nothing House and Senate will be in control of D.C. and Trump will do nothing right along with them but make a lot of noise and gold plate the White House.

Bull. All Edward Snowden has done is make it harder to gather information about terrorist activity in our country.

Trump knew exactly how deep a comment like that cuts with people who have to wear pants with Velcro sides or live in sweatpants. Is that really Presidential in the eyes of his fan base?

There is a difference between political correctness and vitriolic and demeaning ridicule. I applaud those who eschew political correctness, but detest those who engage in the Alinsky tactics of the progressives. The current resident of the White House has made the nation divisive enough! We do not need another Divider in Chief in the WH, regardless of the party designation after his name!!
