I've been uninspired on the Dem race, but that @MartinOMalley speech was something. Called Trump "a hate-spewing carnival barker." Love it.

@MartinOMalley calls #Trump remarks racist. "Not speaking out is to be complicit."

Lis Smith ‏@Lis_Smith (Deputy Campaign Manager, Communicator for @MartinOMalley)
Yes, @realDonaldTrump has built his bid on making disgusting attacks. His attack against Huma Abedin is vile sexist & crosses every line

Lis Smith ‏@Lis_Smith
If @realDonaldTrump wants to show how tough he is, he should pick on someone his own size & not make personal attacks against female staffers

8. ya. i finally had to just watch the video. i have not paid attention to the man at all.

i took the video and put on fb and then ask the people i know supporting him, this is who you really want to put in the whitehouse, dealing with sensitivities, needing diplomacy.

he cannot shut up. he talks about women. he CAN NOT shut the fuck up for anyting.

wow.

thanks.

10. I do have to point out...

the sexism in the following: "If @realDonaldTrump wants to show how tough he is, he should pick on someone his own size & not make personal attacks against female staffers"

That suggests women can't stand up for themselves and that size equals superiority. It's important, when rightfully denouncing Trump and those who cheer him on, that we not contribute to the very things for which Trump is being criticized.

11. I actually don't think this refers to his actual size or anything like that

...but rather his station. Rich megalomaniac launching broadsides against a female staffer. He has all of the resource to defend himself in this campaign, but railing against this Clinton staffer is a cheap and heavy-handed attack.

[Garrett78]

12. That may be...

It might be macho talk, or it may be like you describe. Of course, one's station doesn't make one better either.

But, if it had been a male staffer, would "male staffer" have been used? Or would it have just been "staffer?" Or would it have not even gotten mention?
