Yep, that’s the problem. If only people treated the man who mocks disabled reporters with respect then he would have lost.

It's not about a respect, it's about not sounding childish. I swear discussions about American politics are the most infantile and tribal things on the internet, and that says a lot.

If someone can't even express their opinion without restoring to ad-hominems I assume they can't be readoned with.

Are you truly upset that someone called Trump "orange man"? Trump? The individual who led the way in childish name calling such as Sleepy Joe, Pocahontas, and who mocked a guy who is disabled?

I hope you were equally as outspoken about his childish name calling.

It is called being the bigger person.

The comment above was clearly constructive criticism. If you want to be taken seriously, don't recite name calling (if you are going to resort to name calling, at least don't join the mob and be original).

I along with a large portion of people who saw your comment immediately wrote off what you said because of name calling. You could be a nobel prize winning economist well versed in tariffs, but if you make fun of the person you disagree with because of his spray tan, then you just seem like a foaming at the mouth radical that can be ignored.

That’s what wins elections now, sorry. If you don’t like it you’ll have to take it up with the voting public.

Precisely
