Can't stop crying about this story.

I didn't make my weekly outing with my kids a land hubby this weekend. Idk why but this story really sticks with me. Is this how people think about me?

Can't imagine the pain that reporter feels. You know it really really hurts. Life is hard enuf and when you, as a disabled person, tackle it head on... The last thing you expect is ridicule from a privileged loud obnoxious billionaire who wants to be the prez... A role model for the country. Where does this leave us?

What if he targets our kids, and mocks who they are. I may live for my kids sake, but what would children do if they are targeted objects of ridicule?

trymp scares me more than anyone in the gop.
