He'll never say the vile, deplorable utterances to her face that he shouts in his rallies when he's hiding behind his bigoted, lemming followers. He's a punk, not a man.

The minute her back is turned, he'll tweet assassination insinuations, rape threats, and even viler sexist conspiracy theories just like the CT trafficker he is.

I wonder if President Obama didn't invite him to some White house event. He is so petty something like that plus his bigotry would push him over that really tiny edge.

i thought it was pay back when i watched it. pay back for birtherism and also for trump's going after obama in general.

btw, it still makes me smile when i think of how obama approached it - the comparison to the decision making of both men. loved it!

I think it might be when he decided to go down the Republican road, he looked around for something to latch onto. We know he employed consultants to get the issues that resonated most with Republican voters, maybe he did that at an earlier time as well ?
