Donald Trump wanted to hit

some of the speakers at the DNC...

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Thursday afternoon he wanted to "hit" some of the Democratic National Convention speakers "so hard" while watching them last night, including a "little guy...so hard his head would spin."

"You know what I wanted to. I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard," Trump said. "I would have hit them. No, no. I was going to hit them, I was all set and then I got a call from a highly respected governor."

Trump didn't immediately clarify what he meant, but he said he was made particularly upset by an unspecified person he called a "little guy."

"I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," he said. "I was gonna hit this guy so hard his head would spin and he wouldn't know what the hell happened."

Trump has been campaigning vigorously during the week of the DNC, and has been trying to grab media attention in the process. Yesterday, he held events in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and hosted a short Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit in which he spoke to his most ardent supporters.

At the Florida event, he appeared to invite Russia to intervene in U.S. elections by asking the country to retrieve thousands of Hillary Clinton's deleted emails.

ridiculous "I hate you more" things are "hits."

If anyone doubts what psychologists say, that this man arrested emotionally in childhood, all they need to do is watch this silly self exposure.

Everyone knows you pick on the biggest guy. That way if you lose it doesn't look as bad and should you win you look bad ass. If you attack a little guy and you win you look like a punk ass bully. If you lose to the little guy you look like a giant wuss.

It's weird. Donald seems to be a punk ass bully AND a giant wuss simultaneously.

The Republican Party has not only hit the bottom of the barrel, it's digging up the worms and centipedes beneath. It is absolutely surreal that Trump -- the insane, narcissistic, big-mouthed, vulgar, cable-huckster, heavyweight-buffoon Trump -- is an actual candidate put forth by a major political party in the United States.

Sarah Palin was only a warm-up act.

The man hasn't seen a bit of hard sweat in his life, let alone any kind of physical altercation. If he went to hit someone for real, I don't think he has any idea how to do it.
