"SNIP............
Donald Trump literally started his campaign by insulting people. He has continued to do so through each of the 428 days from then until now, without shame or regret, said a statement released only minutes after the speech concluded.
We learned tonight that his speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize. But that apology tonight is simply a well-written phrase until he tells us which of his many offensive, bullying and divisive comments he regrets and changes his tune altogether.
The campaign then offered a handy list of all of the people Trump has insulted and demeaned over the 14 months, including the blizzard of insults the former Reality TV star has lobbed at ideological opponents on Twitter, his attack on Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, on immigrants, on Judge Alonzo Curiel and more.

to the Khans, and then to the disabled reporter you mocked?
For starters.
