    I'm saying that he is not polished, he doesn't weigh his words. If you take the full context of what he says, it's different than the sound bites that make him sound like a racist, misogynistic lunatic. He's no different than lots of people I talk to who are "jerks." Trump does not scare me like he scares a lot of people, doesn't mean I like him, but I don't believe the things that the MMM says about him.. The American electorate, for the most part, just don't delve that deeply into candidates. They depend on the media to give them doses in 30 seconds or less. That's why I say that Americans DO want a politician. They DO want someone who is careful not to say anything that can be twisted into something else.

    he specifically said (in the video in question) "you gotta see this guy". He obviously knew he was disabled.

    LoL...Lista the video is under a minute long, watch it. Some folk talk with their hands and that's what Trump does...and he used those exact same gestures when talking about other folk who are not disabled. How will know both sides until you hear both sides?

    That was also commented on:

    1.) “You should see this guy” is a figure of speech. Trump says it all the time whether he has personally met people or not, based on what they have said or were reported to have said. He also says “seems like a nice guy”, “probably a nice guy” often when he’s asked to comment on someone critical of him he isn’t very familiar with in order to look like he has nothing against them personally. We’ve watched hours and hours of Trump’s rallies. He does this all the time. “You should see this guy,” was referring to what the reporter wrote trying to backpedal from his story that he was about to read (and did read) to the crowd...

    I think Trump is too good at it and this time he went too far. Just my $ 0.02.

    I kinda agree. Even if he didn't know of the reporters disability, he gestures were very juvenile and insulting. I really wish he would stick with his policies and exposing Hillary and lay off the attacks on people who just do not matter in the least to his campaign.

    pertinent quote:
    “Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” Kovaleski told the Times in November. “I’ve interviewed him in his office,” he added. “I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.” In particular, Kovaleski covered the launch of the Trump Shuttle, spending the day with Trump in 1989 when the airline launched with typical Trump brashness. (Within a year, Trump had to unload the debt-burdened airline because of a cash crunch in his business interests.)
