Trump has crossed over a line. He made fun of a "majority" group of people, "WOMEN"

.....................WOMEN ARE A MAJORITY GROUP IN THE USA..........................

..When Trump made fun of Dr. Ford, he crossed a line. He made fun of a woman who was sexually assaulted. The group Dr. Ford is in is a group of "women" Please note, this is not some minority such as Jews, Asians, Afro Americans, Native Americans, seniors, teenagers, 20 somethings and so on. Women are a MAJORITY IN THIS COUNTRY... Most women know someone who was sexually assaulted in one way or another, a friend, relative, acquaintance and so on.

..Sexual assault is not new. The President of the United States mocking someone who is an victim of sexual assault ..IS NEW.. People discuss this sort of thing, over and over. Something like sexual assault has never been discussed like this before. Trump mocking an victim goes way beyond "normal." Not only is it making fun of women, but victims of a horrendous crime. And he did this in a nation wide speech, ON LIVE TV, not some private conversation..

..I believe people will talk about this up to and including the day of election. Just as important, getting access to this event, (Trump making fun of Dr. Ford) is as easy as .."copy and paste into Google Search. So if somebody missed Trump making fun of Dr. Ford, a person can show a friend the incident almost instantly. A woman does NOT need to go to the library to search for a video tape, or go home for a disc. Someone does not need to check out the TV News to get those 20 or 30 seconds of Trump making fun of Dr. Ford. If someone does not know how to work a computer, (some people do not) then we all have friends that could show us..instantly..the moment Trump made fun of Dr. Ford. Yes the Kavanaugh appointment is bad. Very Bad. But Trump making fun of Dr. Ford will not be forgotten..ever. People will talk about it the way that others talked about a 15 minute gap in some tape recordings.
.
. Trump is a bully and someone who mocks and puts down others. He enjoys it. That 5 minutes of mocking Dr. Ford will define him. And as a result, people will vote for the Democratic Party that have never done so before. And the election is a month away. Plenty of time to discuss this over and over. Many people are very mad about this, (and we are too) and the way we will express this anger is on November 6.
