RantCrush Top 5: October 12, 2016

Trump went there. His campaign compiled the footage of Hillary coughing, stumbling and what not into one big, petty, and frankly, ableist mess.

While Trump’s ad says Hillary Clinton doesn’t have the fortitude, strength or stamina, he forgets that his idolized Ronald Reagan had a joint disease, UTIs, and later developed Alzheimer’s. Franklin D. Roosevelt had polio but it didn’t stop him from becoming one of the most revered presidents the United States has seen.

Some of the most notable presidents suffered from the most common ailments, like depression and obesity, but it seems that good presidents don’t suffer from a weak character like Donald Trump has proven to have.

You don’t have to be superman or woman to be president, you just have to be resilient. It would be a shame if Hillary’s campaign lost because of these “lack of stamina and fortitude” attacks.

New Trump TV ad says HRC doesn’t have the “fortitude” or “strength” to lead & shows video of her stumbling. Can we see him do push-ups?
