Sarah: "I don't think you can expect someone to be personally attacked day after day"

“I don’t think you can expect someone to be personally attacked day after day, minute by minute and sit back!"

Well, actually you can expect that from a Sane, Intelligent, Real Leader Sarah! So shut up!

They were all attacked politically and personally, rightfully or wrongfully, every minute of every day! Grow up Donald!

through his entire eight years and did you see him act like a spoiled little brat and waste his time and tax payers money to tweet about it or run to a news station to talk about how much greater he is because people are being mean to him? NO he did not. Obama is a man not a child and handled it the way any man with class would handle it.

...responding to the relentless attacks upon him. Maybe there were some, but I don't remember any.

I often hoped he had a punching bag in the WH gym that had a picture of McConnell on it.

11. "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!"
Thu Jun 29, 2017, 11:23 PM
Jun 2017

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is widely reported as being coined by US President Harry S. Truman. That's almost correct, but in fact Truman was known to have used it at least as early as 1942 - before becoming president. Here's a citation from an Idaho newspaper The Soda Springs Sun, from July that year:

"Favorite rejoinder of Senator Harry S. Truman, when a member of his war contracts investigating committee objects to his strenuous pace: 'If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen'."

All day every time they replayed her response, I kept remembering that old saying...

Obama didn't hide behind his daughters whenever your racist people hanged and burned him in effigy. Your despicable people chanted the mantra "Lynch that n****r". Let's be like your people and compare Melania to a gorilla and see how the Orange Shitgibbon responds. Obama handled all your people's crap with aplomb, letting it slide right off. So you can shut right the hell up.

put through a lot before (although nothing like the crap the Obama's dealt with) and certainly Hillary has been through the wringer too but... in my lifetime I don't remember any of them losing their minds all the friggin time in public view and acting like a toddler or junior high snot having a hissy fit.

A truly classy individual knows when and how to brush it off, knows to keep things private and how to use a comment that hits home but isn't trashy and/or bigoted, sexist, etc. Trump may have money but he's an absolutely perfect example of how money can't buy true class.

Shut up and deal with it like a mature adult. If every Democrat responded the way Trump does to every single insult and slight, they would be busy 24/7 dealing with their attackers. He's such a thin-skinned, immature POS.

Your party attacked President Obama mercilessly for eight years and counting. Hillary the same. Nancy Pelosi the same. President Clinton the same and the list goes on. They all responded with dignity. Your attitude and stance are no less than vomit inducing.

as folks in Arkansas say, "Bless her heart. She can't help her raising."

For non-southerners, "bless her heart" doesn't translate well into non-southern, but it's not a prayer for blessing.
