Out of all the things TCF did that we were repulsed by in 2016, this was at the top. . .

1. This, and the mocking of the disabled reporter, should have been career-enders

I blame the M$M for normalizing this wretched excuse of a human being — fuck ABCNNBCBS and of course FOX for letting this go pretty much uncontested. Anyone else who would have done that would have been shamed and shunned. Nobody could get a job if they were on record for this and the potential employer knew about it.

4. And for

Trump media exposure worth TWO BILLION DOLLARS in the 2016 campaign!

A blackout on Trump, his utterances a, his online garbled messages and his image 24/7/365 on TV is long past due.

10. It was his first speech. Mexicans are rapists that did it for me. It was then, i knew he was evil racist.

11. My husband is a therapist that worked with ...

... children who were SA victims and now some adults with the same history. He is absolutely convinced a Hispanic member of his dad's household SA'd him or physically hurt him. He's been saying it now for a decade and thinks it's crystal clear.

13. A lot of us knew that WAY before then...back in the Central Park Five days and the birtherism attacks on Obama which...

...were overtly racist at their core. The hateful speech at the bottom of the golden escalator felt like par for the course at that point.

I was also mystified that he could get away with saying McCain wasn't a war hero and not have that be political-career-ending.

2. And disqualifying John McCain as a war hero.

I didn't support McCain in 2008, but I always respected him for his integrity, his bravery, and his service.

3. I met him once

through a work thing. As Republicans go, he wasn't so bad.

I would have a hard time finding anyone like that today in their party.

[BurnDoubt]

5. And...

Who can forget: " Yeah, I ate their little cracker" when asked about his religious reality.
(Likely not a word-for-word quote, but the upshot.)

7. I may be an Ex-Catholic but, wow, that's so demeaning.

[BurnDoubt]

8. That was my reaction...

that was the FIRST time I was certain he was a dead-end.
Yet somehow, he grabbed every third-rail and swung his way to the top.
America, I’m All Astonishment!
(Full Disclosure: Ex-Catholic here too. I have the knuckles to prove it.)

[Blue_playwright]

12. Same. Good human...

...even if I didn't like his policies.

[electric_blue68]

6. Hideous, violence loving sexist pig

[FakeNoose]

9. There were - and still are - so many red flags

Lusting after his own daughter

Criticizing veterans and career military personnel, while expecting THEM to worship HIM

The early failures during the approaching Covid epidemic, when he could have saved countless lives

The racism and sexism on every level of his administration

His greedy grifting, using the office of the Presidency to increase his own wealth

The list goes on and on .....

14. Lying about Jesus.

Proof-positive. You’ll lie about anything!
