As the father of three daughters, I reserved the right to interview their dates. . . For the next few hours, she would be affected by his ability to drive a car, avoid the bad crowds and stay sober. I wanted to know if he could do it. I wanted to know if he was decent.
This was my word: “decent.” Would he treat my daughter with kindness and respect? Could he be trusted to bring her home on time? In his language, actions and decisions, would he be a decent guy?
Decency mattered to me as a dad, and decency matters to Americans. We take note of the person who pays their debts. . . When the husband honors his wedding vows, when the teacher makes time for the struggling student, when the employee refuses to gossip about her co-worker, when the losing team congratulates the winning team, we can characterize their behavior as decent.
We appreciate decency. We applaud decency. We teach decency. We seek to develop decency.
So why isn’t decency doing better in the presidential race?
The leading Republican candidate to be the next leader of the free world would not pass my decency interview.
I don’t know Mr. Trump. But I’ve been chagrined at his antics. He ridiculed a war hero. He made a mockery of a reporter’s menstrual cycle. He made fun of a disabled reporter. . . He routinely calls people “stupid” and “dummy.”
Such insensitivities wouldn’t be acceptable even for a middle school student body election. But for the Oval Office? And to do so while brandishing a Bible and boasting of his Christian faith?

Max is a pussy.
You should have posted this smear piece in Bloggers/Personal.
It doesn’t qualify as news, except maybe to rabid Trump haters like yourself.
Can’t wait for the article about Tailgunner Ted.
Brace for the onslaught, though.
Trump doesn’t pass the decency test
*************************************
Trump passes it a lot more than Cruz ever thought of passing it...your drinking the ‘Kool-Aid’ again I see....ROFL...
Max will drop his daughter off at Bill Clinton’s house in a heartbeat, however.
It seems Ted is pulling it out everywhere, and Trump doesn’t pass the ‘Decency Test’.
Bazarro World.......
None of the candidates pass it. What a sorry lot
What’s that smell? Oh it’s the Washington Post stinking up the place.
I’ll bet this guy loved how polite Mitt Romney and John McCain were to Obama.
From the second World War...
“General Patton doesn’t pass the decency test”
General Patton slapped a soldier! Oh, my! Oh, dear! He is not a decent man. Oh, no, we can’t have him winning battles for us.
“Decency” = cuck code language for rolling over when you are attacked by opponents and leftists.
Cruz is “decent”. When people protest Trump, he attacks Trump. When terrorists attack, he criticizes Trump.
“Decent” GOPe stooges always cave to the left and further the globalist agenda. Therefore, Trump is not “decent”.
Another hoop.
I’ll bet the people dead in Brussels were so glad their leadership was at least ‘decent’
People jumping out of the twin towers on 9/11 were very concerned with the decency of US leadership because it was so important at the time, wasn’t it?
Timmy hates Trump. We get it.
Dragging your wife through the spectacle of seeing your girlfriend ‘fling’ wearing a matching tattoo is considered decent to some.
Maybe letting your children hang out with a supermodel you later have no problem trashing is considered decent.
Or holding up the Bible while commenting on rat copulation is considered decent.
Not in my circles. Then again, I’m one of the unwashed masses, a Christian with flaws, one of the ‘little people’ who just can’t seem to measure up to the snotty self-righteous level.
Hillary would be proud of you.
That may be true, but read just a few excerpts of The Message and see that Lucado doesn’t pass the authentic Christianity test.
Compared to Obama, Sanders and the Clintons, Donald Trump is a saint.
When the husband honors his wedding vows?
Ted Cruz please pick up the courtesy phone...
And I hear he used swear words when talking to the troops, and, oh the PETA of it, he enjoyed fox-hunting.
Bad example for your daughters by being a pathetic liar.
