While it is (much moreso now), and definitely was inappropriate.. I'd like to
know how many people arguing about this as a reason not to vote for him, have
ever called a friend of theirs a retard, or a short bus riding window licker, or
slow, etc. Back in the 80s-90s you heard that crap every day, as it was very
common.
I think it has to do with people's skin getting much thinner over the years.
People's feelings get hurt entirely too easily nowadays.

He wasn't ever, nor wanted to be groomed to be president. He has always been a
business owner and basically ran the country the same way - which was /very/
successful, if I might add. It was definitely a nice break from the previous
what, 20 years of Democrat presidents?
