You contradicted yourself there. You said: "He didn't mock the reporter's disability but he did mock the reporter AND his disability." Well did he or didn't he? To me, and I'm sure Trump as well, he didn't mock the man's disability. He impersonated him and the man has a disability so you have to include it to get the impersonation right. People impersonate Hawkings all the time. It's not saying they're making fun of his disability though. And I'm sure that reporter is an adult. So being a big boy, he should be able to handle harsh criticism.
Trump has a personality that might seem abrasive to most, but to me, he seems true to himself. At least he's more honest than most of the other people up there like Hillary. If you can't take Trump at 100% why should he change?
As for Rand supposedly being a shmo, that's way off. He actually tries to filibuster shitty legislation to help us out. I'd rather have him in than any other candidate. And his father could always give him advice. :l
