"Compared to Trump?" is what many would say. Still, I think that would ruin him, if true.

James, the poll that says Trump would lose in a head-to-head with Sanders or Warren is just wrong.
Some of the Trump deficits you list are not as important to many voters as the large issues between liberals and conservatives. The declared war between the parties can get rough enough that it could reduce to just the main differences between liberals and conservatives. If far left Dems like Sanders or Warren (or others that don't stay to the middle) lead, the Dems lose.

After watching Biden stumble around, do you also think he would beat Trump? He is more likely to be even worse as time goes by.
And hasn't that poll been wrong?

538 says Quinnipiac has called races correct 83%. Nothing to bet the house on. And does this stat include such early polls? Seems doubtful.

Sure, 83% is good. But there is not a chance in hell that the poll we were talking about, as early as it is, is accurate to that percentage.  Look at the Biden results now.  Look Trump vs Warren. You have lost some perspective if you really believe 83% is the number of a face-to-face with Trump for those people.

Did you have any interest in researching that claim? There is youtube with dates showing Trump doing the same routine with the hands and voice four times, all previous to this incident. Talking about Cruz, a general, bank president, and another person, all without disability. It was a routine he did for many and he claims he overlooked that he had a disability. A polite thing to do? No, but not something that should keep a person from the presidency. Many are so filled with anti-Trump emotion they have lost some logic.

I suggest that instead of trying to defend the indefensible, it would be far easier to admit that Trump is a horrible human being. There are hundreds of examples of Trump mocking people inappropriately in public and using churlish behavior that is inexcusable. Are you going to defend or make excuses for all of them? Please, admit that Trump is a childish name-calling bully and a pathological lying toddler. At this point, any other position sounds self-serving and delusional.
Your first sentence doesn't make sense to me.

Have you watched the videos of the four times Trump did this "routine?"

I'm showing that you are so overcome with your politics that you immediately assume and ride hard the story that Trump mocked a disabled person.

Even if you are right, and you are not, that Trump was not mocking the disabled reporter, it does not clear Trump of the total of all of his disgusting behavior. The man is a disgrace to the human race.
The previous video shows him doing maybe a flustered person with a wave of his hands. Of course in your mind it has to be mocking a disabled person. You must know by now you are not open-minded in these matters and that is ok with me.
