For lawmakers and political candidates, 2019 could be the year of not giving a f--- about cursing.

Profanity — once considered a major no-no among those seeking public office — is no longer an earth-shattering political snafu. And according to new research, this year could be on track to see members of Congress swearing up a storm more than ever before.

Trump forces them to reveal their true selves. Believing their 'truth' instead of facts.

Well, Trump dropped a few bombs himself. They must be trying to outdo him.

They think it makes them look macho and that voters will swoon. Bad news, boys and girls...it just makes you look immature and not fit to govern.

Swearing certainly has been a feature of (private) political life since forever, but normally for a reason and then only to your aides, never in public and certainly never as a vote-getting strategy.

Where does this suddenly come from? Did they forget Truman, LBJ, Clinton and Obama? Why Republicans are even lumped in with this is beyond me. Filth is the left. Decorum and cowardliness is with the right....until Trump!

Our culture is in the gutter. Why should politics be any different?

Trump actions are automatically bad.

Progs doing the same thing to a higher degree is just being righteously down with the people.

Because they're RATs, and they've always been vulgar dirtbags.

anyone else remember, at the 2004 Democrat convention for John Kerry, they trotted out a 12 year old girl, who criticized Dick Cheney for saying a bad word?

The Democrats loved that little girl. Dick Cheney’s potty mouth was a crime against humanity!! At least by the standards of 2004 when using a child for political purposes.

They are pandering to millennials. Many millennials believe in nothing and consider all profanity to be just a part of normal conversation. An f-bomb shows that kind of millennial that the candidate is hip and cool.

People that can’t communicate without swearing have a poor command of the English language.
