What a fantastic article! A great insight into a presidential candidate going on his campaign and facing at his age his ’stutter’. It's amazing it can be any situation such as myself and job interviews, you still have that battle to deal with it every day. And the ’stutter’ is one stubborn beast that won’t back down!

Saying those two words is harder than it seems. “I’m working with people who spend their whole lives and are never able to disclose it,” Donaher told me.
This rings very true for me!
