I keep thinking that this guy can't get any lower and guess what?? Wrong again

[rug]

1. A kiiller ad.

[Skittles]

2. "it showed me his soul"

[ailsagirl]

3. I was moved by that phrase-- so well-said

Such decent and caring people.

I'm running out of words that aptly describe that lunatic-- none of the ones I've found (except grotesque) come
even close to describing him.

4. While Trump is disgusting, what about all the yahoos that like that kind of crud?

[ailsagirl]

6. He's a magnet for those sick, deluded crazies

And it's truly revolting

He's worse than I ever could have imagined

[Doctor Jack]

5. That is infuriating

What the fuck is wrong with that asshole?

[gratuitous]

7. Donald Trump got laid out by a little girl in a wheelchair

The referee had to stop it; it wasn't a fair fight.

[Ilsa]

8. Trump has no soul.

It infuriates me that anyone can try to rationalize these things Trump says and does. It is true: Trump showed us that his heart is vile, mean-spirited, and he's a superficial person.

9. That's the bottom line: he has no soul

[spanone]

10. K&R...

[world wide wally]

11. His #1 Greatest hit...

and it's about time he was called out on this one

[renate]

12. how could that not have ended his campaign right then and there?

Well, I know why, of course: his supporters' hearts and souls are as foul as his.

13. Ad sinks Trump and the ship that carries him; amazing this wasn't done sooner

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. This isn't just an ad....

....It's even more than "just" a public service message.

I can't even think of a word that conveys what it meant for me, myself. Maybe someone else can help me out.

But, "it revealed his soul--and I didn't like what I saw"--yeah, definitely that.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

15. Powerful... nt

[OldRedneck]

16. YEEEHAAAA!!!!!!!

This will sting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Copy the link to the video and spread it far and wide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mendocino]

17. It's not bad enough that DT

is a terrible POS, but that he actually enjoys it.

[ailsagirl]

18. Actually drumpf was ridiculing that poor man-- "mocking" is too nice a word

If he were 14 years old, I might understand it-- I'd think he hadn't matured, he had a lot to learn, and that once he grew up he would probably cultivate some empathy for others.

What a laugh

What he did is tantamount to kicking a puppy-- or worse. At this point, I would put nothing past him. He has shown himself to be an utterly despicable, cruel, sadistic, unfeeling SOB and I hope he gets everything he so richly deserves.

20. Repubs agree this is a brutal ad

http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/06/06/ouch-brutal-anti-trump-ad-will-hurt-unconverted/

The only sad thing is that it was a dem pac that had to put it into a resonating ad. As the parent of a disabled his words did hurt when he said them. But I also realize not everyone is connected to the disabled. I've always seen within the bubble, but also try to acknowledge there are those outside. Much as if one of Trump's statements hurt a veteran/a black/a woman/ a waitress/ a preacher/ a Jew/ a person within their connected "community". I can't connect with all, but do connect with some. Either you empathize, or you don't. Maybe, if we're lucky, he will have alienated every single community soon and can be relegated to the trash heap.

21. It's brutal but it's the truth

It's drumpf who is brutal

[lunatica]

22. Wah!! Wahhhh! They're treating Trump unfairly!

That will be his response. Then he'll order his followers to go after them.

[FailureToCommunicate]

23. Thank you for posting this!

[ailsagirl]

24. You're most welcome

Turns out it's posted twice elsewhere on DU, but this was the first!!

But it needs to be widely circulated-- can't have too many people seeing it.

It's a shocker

[Doctor Jack]

25. In the words of Joseph Welch "Have you left no sense of decency?"

Just disgusting
