I'm guessing not a lot of people here have seen people with the disability that they swear that Trump was mocking. I have seen them. Since my son has Down syndrome, we were in clinics and classrooms with people of varying disabilities. Trump was not mocking the reporter. Sadly, those that brought this out and continue to beat it to death probably are causing more agony to people with disabilities than any motions that Trump might make with his hands. It is in a way exploiting the reporters physical condition for the benefit of those that dislike Trump.

nobody has made that claim. if you know of one please link to it.
So you agree that Muslims in the U.S. celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

We're getting somewhere.
There are all kinds of options between "there weren't any" and "there were thousands and thousands" including, but not limited to: a couple, a few, isolated numbers, small groups, a pocket of...

I know you don't see it, and I know you won't agree, but the issue is the hyperbole and deliberately pitting one demographic against another, those are not traits I want in a president. And spare me the President "Blah, Blah" did it or So-and-So does it. I got it, we've had that experience already as a nation, and it has produced some pretty toxic results both domestically and internationally. I would prefer to avoid a repeat of it and do better this time, if possible. Besides, the blant, in-your-face nature of his words just reminds me of a mean and immature teenager.

I sincerely hope you're making this up. The idea that someone could have a disabled child and still defend Trump openly mocking the disabled is just sad.

They're scared, Ed. They know they have a formidable opponent here and are desperate to bring him down.
The crazy train agenda is quite clear. Sadly for them, it's not working and it's not going to. The insane among us got their boy elected twice. Not gonna happen again. Trump speaks to the heart of the various issues and people are sick and tired of the status quo. If Trump chooses to stay in this all the way, he'll win in a landslide not unlike Reagan's. I'm black and will vote for him as will a lot of blacks over Cankles. Same with Asians and Hispanics. Trump knows exactly what he's doing and the Trump Deniers don't have a chance of changing anyone's mind.

i've never claimed otherwise because the evidence support that there was small pockets of celebrators. what the evidence doesn't support is trumps claim that there were "thousands and thousands" celebrating in new jersey.

not really, you still haven't supplied support for your claim of anyone stating "there weren't any Muslim celebrations in New Jersey of the 9/11 attack".

Trump calls for targeting Islamic State fighters' families | Reuters
First of all, this is almost a week old. I don’t know where you get your news from . Second, if those brave ISIS dudes decide to hide under the skirt of their women, those women should get the hell out because they are going to die with them. They are no wusses so they can get up and leave. Look what one did in San Bernardino.

It's very obvious Trump's fan base isn't going to change their minds about their lying and uncouth "man"/bully boy but if you think he's going to win the primaries by a landslide you'd better hop on that crazy train you keep posting about. 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.

O'Reilly, last night. The Reuters that I linked 2 days old.

Targeting the families is different than targeting the enemy and collateral damage involves innocent victims.

Clearly you can see the difference. If you can't, I don't know who to blame, possibly your childhood or secondary school educators?

Unabashed conservative here. I saw Trump on video and I saw the reporter on video and it was clearly a mocking by Trump. Crude and inappropriate behavior for anyone seeking to be the leader of the US. Trump's tendency to mock and demean anyone who does not agree with or adore him is a very detrimental character flaw of his. 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.

Wow, talk about delusional thinking on display. True that Hillary (Cankles per your fantasy) may very well not win, but The Donald will not be the one that Wins, the vast majority Of American Voters know he is the epitome of Non-Presidential Material.
Gonna be a Bad Year for you and your ilk, enjoy
