He never made the arm gestures regarding any other journalists misreporting him or whatever. He never made the arm gestures at Ben Carson for being crazy. He's literally only done it in this case.

That should be enough.
Wrong.  Read Ann Coulter's articles and learn the truth.
When these two phrases share a sentence, you know you're in trouble.

He made fun of disabled people, period. Whether he mocked the reporter or not, Trump still made fun of people who have a disability like that. No pass.

People who blow off 25% of working Americans as "deplorable" have kind of punted on their right to judge here.

Good thing we've never done that then.

Your candidate has. 
Umm... Trump got about 13.5 million primary votes. Since there are about 151 million employed Americans, this comes out to less than 5%. Even if you assume that 60% of employed are white (VERY generous given that 63% total is white, and minorities are disproportionately unemployed), this still comes out to about 7.5%. And, besides, she has had the decency apologize for those comments, something which Trump seems to have an allergy to.

I don't recognize "walking back her comments" as an apology.

Hillary hates the kind of culturally conservative voter that tends to support Trump, even if they're not conservative on all issues, and even if they were, at least once, tempermentally Democrats.  Personally, I believe this goes back to the days when she was First Lady of Arkansas; those backward rubes voted her husband out of office because she wouldn't take his name.  (I believe that she's hated having to do this every day since she decided to, and hates the people who "insisted" she do it to get ahead.  That may be Streetcorner Psychology, but voters have to do the best they can in sizing up what a Presidential candidate will ACTUALLY do if elected.)

From my vantage point, I see a Presidential candidate who thinks more of illegal aliens over certain American citizens.  ("If we gave these folks amnesty, they'd vote for ME.")  I see a Presidential candidate who thinks more of folks who receive public assistance and have children out of wedlock over folks that work and attempt to stay married in tough circumstances because the former group is more likely to vote for HER.  (I assure you that if Hillary's road to the White House were through being the wife of a REPUBLICAN President, she'd be telling Welfare Cadillac stories just like Reagan did.)  Trump's who he is, and I don't like everything about who he is, but Trump respects American citizens who work, all of them, and I don't believe Hillary does the same.

Don't get all sarcastic-blank-quotey on me! Tongue I'm not trying to defend her statement, all I'm saying is that it's not as bad as it might sound at first. It was still wrong, and it was still a mistake.
