Very little compassion? Sociopath? When FDR died, his mistress was there, not his wife. And Eleanor had to live with that knowledge and the realization that people knew it. Jackie Kennedy had to live with JFK’s many escapades. And Hillary Clinton had to live with Bill’s.

And yet, nobody, and particularly not Democrats, label any of them “sociopaths” or having “very little compassion”.

And nobody was “terrified”, either.

I don’t think rose kelly was referring to Trump’s womanizing.

I freely admit that this is mere speculation. But a friend who has doctorate in psychology claims that habitual sniffing in stressful situations can be a sign of bipolar disorder. We’ll likely never know but that diagnosis would answer a good many questions.

And that eye-crossing Hillary does could be a sign of a fatal brain tumor. But there’s no better reason to believe that than to believe Trump is bipolar.

Perhaps not in particular, but she appeared to be talking about manifestations of cruelty and lack of compassion. I suppose she can tell us why she’s “terrified” if she wants to.

It is bizarre and very telling at the same time.The best the Dems could come up with is a tired retread,HC.The Republicans painted themselves into a corner by not listening to their base.DT seized the opportunity and jumped in.He is a reaction to all of the above.

I think the Republican primary voters did listen to the base. The base is sick and tired of the politicians promising things will be different if they are elected and things are not different. The Republicans in power now are the ones who have not listened to the base.

I’m no Trump fan, as anyone who has seen my posts on him can attest, but this is too much. I suffer from fall allergies. He may have them. He may have a cold. I’m not going to use “sniffling” as a reason to disqualify the man.

IMO,Trumps’sniffing was a nervous response,he was pretty worked up and I could hear it in his voice,he was breathing heavily too.🤷

I think Trump has a business personna. the business world is very tough - like the political world. I am sure there is Trump the private person - family man as well.
I certainly have more confidence in Trump leading our country than Hillary and Bill. That would be a nightmare. Trump has flaws, but he also has promise. Hillary has flaws, numerous corruption scandals and no promise.

Seems like Mr. Trump and some of his supporters (I’m thinking of Rudy Giuliani) are more than willing to criticize Hillary Clinton for tolerating her husband’s infidelities.

These men, on the other hand, were perfectly willing to humiliate their then-wives and children by openly and very publicly carrying on affairs with other women, dumping said wives to marry the “other woman,” and then, in Mr. Trump’s case, dumping the next wife for yet another.

Do you really think that is without effect on children? No decent father would do that to his children. I wouldn’t, my father wouldn’t, no man worthy of respect as a father would.

I’ll just say it’s a little weird to see a man who cheated on Wife Number 1 with Wife Number 2, and is now on Wife Number 3 being described on a Catholic forum by devout Catholics as a ‘family man’. Did I step into the Twilight Zone version of CAF here?

Well,I think we all knew HC would come to the debate in good form.She had plenty of time to rest and no doubt was given lots of energy inducing injections.lots and lots of that water she apparently was lacking on 911

It’s also a sign of a cold… he’s been flying around doing several public appearances a week, is it any wonder he might have picked up a cold?
