Hate-Mongering Bully: Man and Donald Trump

hate-mongering bully: Then Clinton raised the stakes, according to Metro News. She described this election as a moment of reckoning for a country that risks electing a uniquely dangerous man — whom she characterized as an ill-informed, thin-skinned, hate-mongering bully too reckless to hold the great levers of power."Imagine him in the Oval Office," she said, after accepting the Democratic nomination as the first female presidential candidate for a major U.S. party."A man we can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."She referred to him calling women pigs, mocking a judge of Mexican heritage, miming a disabled reporter, and insulting former Republican nominee John McCain for being captured in Vietnam: "Here the sad truth," Clinton said. "There is no other Donald Trump. She rolled through the challenges of this era: stagnant wages, terrorist attacks, climate change, student debt, laying out promises for tackling them as a roomful of supporters waved U.S. flags, chanted her name, and drowned out periodic heckling from left-wing protesters. This is it."She called him unworthy of a country whose Latin motto is, "Out of many, one." Likening him to a childhood tormentor, Clinton shared a story about her mother refusing to allow her in the house as she tried fleeing a bully: "She literally locked the door. 'Go back out there,' she said... She was right. While the party has a variety of progressive planks in its platform it does not intend to fight this election on a left-right axis — but on other fronts. You have to stand up to bullies."It a recurring theme of the Democratic convention. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
