I laugh too. Love the non PC flair he's brought to the election. It's refreshing!

If he was a standup comedian a lot of his material would be okay for late night TV, after the kids are in bed. But he's not presidential, knowledgeable or nuanced enough to run our country.

He's also turning off the American Indian vote when he uses an Indian name an insult.

Here in New England she is known as Lyawatha. The name was given to her by a Massachusetts talk show host, and author Howie Carr.
She is also known sometimes as Senator Spreading Bull.

If you actually find it funny, it is not wrong to laugh.
It may not be "politically correct", but it is not wrong.

Only with the PC crowd as even the Cherokees had enough of her lying about her heritage and said as much.

The problem you have to face is deciding how you're going to deal with it when he does become President as it's a real possibility. Are you moving, going to accept it or continue to rant on the boards everyday not able to do a thing about it

Trump's vow to be presidential is among the long list of vows (i.e. "I'm going to release my taxes") that Trump has broken. It should be no surprise at this point.

The comment itself is undignified the Office of the President of the United States and no matter what something thinks about "PC," the office should be held to a dignified standard.

I thought it was funny and I would have thought so regardless of who said it. Some people have no sense of humor, desperately trying never to offend anyone because of political correctness. It's a breath of fresh air to see anyone running for public office not worried about PC.

Trump makes up names for people he wants to humiliate: Little Marco, Lyin Ted, Pocahontas, crooked Hillary etc. It's exactly the way Joseph Stalin used to characterize his enemies. I'll bet there's a long history of name calling in his business dealings.
