Yeah, he's a jerk. I often think: "Is this someone I would invite over to dinner?"
I wouldn't invite Trump to dinner. There are Democrats I would invite to dinner. Most of my friends from ND are Democrats. There are Republicans I would not invite to dinner. Trump is one of them.
But, Ford is fair game. She chose to enter the political arena. This is not a trial of a rapist, where the victim needs protection. This is a job interview (as you guys have told me), and she is trying to sabotage his job application for something he supposedly did 36 years ago for which she has no evidence...and regarding which she remained silent for 36 years until he applied for a job that offended her political senses. She might be telling the truth, but that doesn't change the fact that this is all fair game, and the outrage over Trump doing what Trump does is just business as usual. I don't think he mocked her...I wouldn't put him above that, but I think if he mocked her, you would have better video. And, so what if he did? She signed up for this (assuming the Dems didn't force this on her).
