I explained to my 74 year dad and 70 year mom what happened today... they listened to this shitpot..

They asked few questions to clarify and then:

1. My mother who is not well, she said how this happened? she cried for 15 mins, how a man can say crap to women like a simple object, she got depressed so much that I regretted telling her.

2. My dad is going though many surgeries past few months and when he heard this man talking, he actually puked... so when this fucking trump makes a mistake, I have more work to clean... anyhow i feel good they know.

They would have always voted HCR but this man is giving grief to so many people.

Guys this is epitome of politics and worst we can see in USA.... its right time for Republican senators and congressman to come out and repudiate this asshole..

I hope they weather this storm well. My mom is 82 yo she has early stage dementia. One joke I frequently make with her is that we are going to go door to door canvassing for trump to "spread the hate" she always laughs at that image. She is a big Hillary supporter.

have any respect for America can side with this despicable being. They are kissing his ass to hang onto their place in R politics and in the populace are clearly deplorables.

of Americans support him. I find that scary too. He enables the worst parts of America. It's pathetic and quite sad.

3. Your parents are unwell. You need to protect them, not make life worse for them.
