You're a mess.

There are plenty of reasons and things he has said that one could point to as proof he is sexist, but using the word 'mess' when describing a woman isn't one.

You should peruse your buddy's use of the word "retarded".

I'd say continuously insisting something to be the case when no intelligent person would agree with you and when multiple sources have disproven you is a pretty good example of how to actually 'act retarded'

You may have noticed I already agreed on your judgement of him, which I would call hardly "defending him". But go on.

I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Go to this page:

Press ctrl+f, search for "mess", and tell me your result.

Why do you focus on liberals in your statement? Plenty of conservatives and independents have repeatedly said that Trump is sexist, racist, and otherwise bigoted. And he is. The debate over whether or not he is has looong been decided.

Whether or not Trump is sexist will not be qualified based upon his use of the word mess. Really stupid topic of discussion to get caught up on.

There he did use the word mess, but he's also talking about something very specific - Rubio being drenched in sweat. "He looked like he just came out of a swimming pool. He was a mess." Trump is only talking about Rubio's sweat here, not Rubio as a person. So he was explicitly insulting the appearance of a man running for president.
Insulting his appearance in limited circumstances.
And you're also someone who defends Trump's "blood" comment, for the record.

I think it's funny how if some alt-right guy comes in this thread posting nonsense when everyone jumps on his bullshit, none of the right-oriented posters speak up to defend him. Bullshit is bullshit and there's no need to.
But it seems like when a regressive-left guy like doodsmack starts spreading nonsense, if you try to call him out on it the cavalry comes because left sticks together even if it's just retarded
No one should be defending Doodsmack's argument here yet so many of you are fighting against the shitstorm he's getting. He said something ridiculous. He got called out on it and refused to acknowledge he was wrong.

This post of yours won't win any honesty awards but I'm glad you included the "shitpost" red flag "retarded".

I'm never giving up my use of the word "retard." I've all but abandoned "gay," but "retard" is going to be my Alamo. NOT ANOTHER INCH SHALL BE GIVEN!

I don't care about any blood comment, if your goal was to shame me. Right after he said it about Megyn Kelly's eyes, he said it about Chris Wallace's eyes. That was like a year ago. The country has a $20 trillion debt and this is what bothers you.
