or any other vile and vulgar name. That is the behavior of Trump and many of his supporters. You can point out his unsuitability for POTUS, his criminality, his deceitfulness, etc without resorting to vile and vulgar name calling. Vulgarity is not helpful. It's counter-productive to getting a critical mass of people to join us in making changes. When we use vile and vulgar language, we join their team. No matter how frustrated we get with Trump's totally unacceptable behavior, we need to stay calm and clearly see him for what he is -- a deeply insecure and delusional narcissist and bully. Quite pathetic really. Remember Michele Obama's advice at the Dem convention: when they go low, we go high.

We are better than that. If we don't hold ourselves to a higher standard of civility and respect, it's hypocritical to expect it in others. Change begins with us. We can't change Trump, and probably not his supporters, but we can change ourselves by behaving with dignity.

Confusing an earned pejorative with his trivialization of the ill is the flaw in your premise. The pejorative is not hypocritical... it is accurate descriptor. Let's not try to rationalize accuracy as hypocrisy in an attempt of self-validating righteousness. Your justifications belong to you and you alone.

Tsk-tsking over a commonly used word used in a post on a website comment because one finds it vulgar is flaw. It's focusing on the wrong things. It's a blatant, almost comically willful misunderstanding of "taking the high ground." Language is not the issue; content is. Spreading that insinuation the Trump is a hopped-up meth addict with a penchant for underage girls, for example, is taking the low road - and without using a single icky word. Describing a thing accurately and colorfully is not the same.

Donald Trump is an evil, psychopathic subhuman maggot.

Calling him a piece of shit is far too kind.

Stamina?

I like what Bill said on "Real Time" the other night. During the debate Hillary looked like Bruce Springstein, just getting warmed up after ninety minutes, while Trump looked like fat Elvis stumbling around and forgetting the lyrics to "A Fool Such as I."

He's still trying to make this argument after Monday?

The man is positively delusional.

Cause it looks like he is wearing them while playing golf.

Not that wearing Depends is shameful, as I am sure I will someday. But he would happily make fun of someone who does. While wearing them himself.

Seriously, how much of a lowlife is this guy? And his comments about PTSD are rich coming from a guy who didn't even serve.
He even had the nerve to say that sleeping around without catching STDs was his "personal Vietnam". Trump is human feces!
