Something that gets overlooked - trump's impact on those who were or are bullied

I was one who was bullied pretty badly in school - didn't really escape it until my undergrad years (quiet, good student, not a jock...brutal memories of it all). I am sure many here had the same experience. Never gave into them, always stood up to them, but it was dreadful.

Trump is a monster - the joker of all bullies. He gets away with it on a daily basis and it is widely publicized that he does. Today, with the Boy Scout thing, the impending ACA vote, the Russia stuff - I woke up more depressed than I've been since the election day travesty (there is some sadness in every day because of it). But now trump seems to be bullying his way into absolute harm to so many people. And no one - NO ONE - is standing up to him.

Just wanted to toss this out there - a hug - to all of those who are especially sensitive to this malevolent behavior.

so peculiar in a republican Casino Hustler with five freaking Draft Dodges racked up on his long list of dishonors.

This is what republicans what for their children and grandchildren? Deplorable.
