He hit back rather then curling up in the corner crying.
I don't get why that is considered wrong.
You and me both. What the heck is wrong with my fellow citizens? What is wrong with a visionary fighter? These are the people who made America Great. Never giving up, never giving in and giving as good as he gets.
“Perhaps it is because I am not an effete academic who sips my tea with a raised pinkie but I don’t get what they don’t like about Trump.”
He doesn’t belong to the club. It’s like every teen movie out there where the new kid in town winds up accidentally embarrassing the bully and the rest of the movie they do everything they can to defeat him.
Donald Trump is our Daniel in Karate Kid.
It is because those effete academics consider Mr. TRUMP to be one of those “ROUGH MEN WHO STAND READY IN THE NIGHT TO VISIT VIOLENCE ON THOSE WHO WOULD DO US HARM”.
Just as the Lib/Prog/Transi/NWO/Demo/Socialist/Communists hate the police, the military, and the average American Citizen.
In their eyes we are all uncouth, uneducated, rough, violent men, not deserving of respect.
They have to hate him; just as they hate us, it’s in their education, upbringing, and their DNA.
Trump lives in that grey area between "alpha male" and "alpha hotel"*.
To some people he looks more like the latter than the former. He reminds me of some folks I have worked with over the years, who insist on being the Big Man In Charge of the Project even when they should by all rights be back-benchers. They're annoying, and I don't like them.
But that's irrelevant; we're voting for President of the United States, not best friend, team-mate, coworker, or whatever. Trump is flawed. Hillary is evil. The distinction should be obvious.
* For those of you in Rio Linda, that's an abbreviation for "Ass Hole".
