because the mass media REFUSES to do so - essentially hiding behind the cover of "First Amendment" despite the fact that much of this "speech" IS "hate speech", and in some instances, has encouraged fringe supporters to carry out actual violence against people who are innocent except for not fitting their criteria of "Americans". The media thinks it's a joke and that Trump's continual flow of verbal vomit is not even worthy of their critique but another candidate's "coughing" represents the end of the world as we know it.



BUT adding the context of that remark (notably this was a fundraiser and celebration of LGBT rights) that sound-bite followers miss -







And theres so much more than I find deplorable in his campaign: the way that he cozies up to white supremacist, makes racist attacks, calls women pigs, mocks people with disabilities  you cant make this up. He wants to round up and deport 16 million people, calls our military a disaster. And every day he says something else which I find so personally offensive, but also dangerous. You know, the idea of our country is so rooted in continuing progress that we make together. Our campaign slogan is not just words. We really do believe that we are stronger together. We really do believe that showing respect and appreciation for one another lifts us all up.

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic  you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people  now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks  they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.But the other basket  and I know this because I see friends from all over America here  I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas  as well as, you know, New York and California  but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and theyre just desperate for change. It doesnt really even matter where it comes from. They dont buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They wont wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like theyre in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.
