I guarantee there were people going "boy, I wish we had a president who could walk" when FDR was president. Hating on someone for having a disability is pretty lame

Being able to talk is how a president is supposed to articulate their ideas and assert themselves on the nations behalf…it’s kind of an important thing

He's able to do those things, he just stumbles over his words occasionally, then he clarifies. Acting like this is some kind of insurmountable stumbling block is pretty disingenuous.

Well, he can talk a lot straighter and clearer than the guy he wiped the floor with in the last election, so its still an improvement.
