Sounds a lot like Hillary and Obama supporters.
If memory serves Obama made fun of the special olympics.
Hillary has a history of abusive behavior towards secret service personnel, the military and white house servants. Yet the left defend them tooth and nail.

Truth.

Well - to be fair - I know of only ONE person in my real life that likes Trump and that is my 93 year old Aunt. She doesn't hear half of what he says anyway because she doesn't wear her hearing aids.

Good point! What if Putin gets a limp?

Nobody donates more to Americans with disabilities than Trump.

Media is desperate and dishonest, just like Hillary and Rubio.
He did know the guy! He's been interviewed by him for years. Have you seen a side by side picture of the reporter and Trump pretending to have crippled hands?

It's quite telling.

Did you read this article? Really not a big surprise. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is attracting the least educated. Unless he calls Jesus a socialist loser for feeding the poor, I don't see him alienating this segment of our population. Shiver...

His hardcore, of course, does not care and probably approves, but there are not enough of them to get him the nomination.
The insults are the least of my issues with him. It's his lack of depth of knowledge in how he plans on accomplishing what he's promising (ie deporting 11 million without due process), getting Mexico to pay for a wall, and how he's going to make China do what he wants them to do - the list is endless.

In most cases the liberal media does not play up their mistakes/misstatements like they do for (R's). Of course FOX will, so that is why the liberals do not watch it, because they do not want to see their emperor without any clothes.

Sure, using made up statistics accusing an one race of being the overwhelming primary murders of members of another race is meaningless. Gosh, that wouldn't cause any problems or hard feelings at all.

I've been saying for the last 4-5 years that Barrack Obama has been the worst thing to happen to the United States. If I had to choose between voting for Trump or Obama, I'm not sure who I would vote for. I am honestly struggling to think who I wouldn't choose over Trump.

If there's negative Trump TV ads it wouldn't surprise me if from those Trump's poll numbers go even higher.

Trump 2016, if not him Cruz 2016.

Trump cares about people with physical/mental problems so I don't (like so many other Americans) "buy" whatever the anti-Trump media is dishing out about this.

No, I didn't miss a thing. You can't justify your comments with reference to a child with down's or any other disability and use it as a tool and expect people not to be offended and insulted. I really couldn't care less what you think of the Palins, me or anyone else, but to use a child's handicap and make such a repulsive statement is flagrant ignorance..Nope, you can't give yourself a pass.
