Max Lucado: Trump doesn’t pass the decency test
Washington Post ^ | February 26, 2016 | Max Lucado

Posted on 03/26/2016 10:22:03 AM PDT by Timmy

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?

“You don't want the truth, you can't stand the truth” that's what is wrong with the cruz bots...they can't TAKE the truth...

Poor cruz supporters, how disgraceful this must be....oh well, we tried to warn you, and there is more coming out, 3 more today I hear, and then there is the ‘hooker's’ report from the Detective, and the video showing Cruz and another woman who would visit the hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays? hmmmm....but you keep up that support....

If true; neither does Cruz. Where exactly is that test? I probably wouldn’t pass either - me and 95% of other people.

“you’ve got to be kidding me with the whoremaster you’re voting for”

As a former whoremaster, I take great offence to your statement.

The date on the article is 2/26/16.

Max is a ****wad.

He has significant control issues with his offspring. If Max hasn't taught his daughters how to tell the difference between boys who are to be trusted and boys who are not to be trusted by the time they have reached the age of 16 or 17, he needs to keep them safely at home and locked in their rooms.

So instead of voting for a whoremaster, you’ve decided to vote for a whoremaster, and now you are scolding people for voting for a whoremaster?

SMH.

By the way, go watch the video of the 18 yr old Ted “world domination” Cruz, and tell me didn’t jump into bed with any woman who smiled at him.

*SIGH* I guess all of our candidates can't be men of impeccable integrity like Ted Cruz. Some guys are consumed by the lure of power, money and sex. Oh, wait, those are the stated ambitions of Ted Cruz. LOL

Could we get a break?

Decency?

We have a corrupt syndicate running and ruining our country hell bent on getting Hillary in.

Who have been using our heard earned money by the way to pay abortionists to not only kill innocent life by the millions but to sell their body parts

Why is this even a headline

Sure, but Hillary, Obama and Biden all pass even though they openly promote Homosexual Unions, Abortion on demand and the selling of baby body parts. Trump at least publicly now denounces unlimited abortion.

I use to read all his books. I do not remember what it was about one but I realized he was not someone I should be reading. So, vote Trump.

A quote from Mike Huckabee, Des Moines, Iowa
January 24, 2015:

“But governing America isn’t always easy. It’s been said—and I’m sure you have heard—there are two things you should never see. You should never see a law or a sausage made. I have seen both, and I still eat sausage. But I can attest to the fact that neither are very pretty. And in the case of a sausage, you in Iowa get this in a way nobody else in America does. But if you’re going to have some sausage, you’ve got to kill some pigs. And folks there are a lot of people in America who want the sausages, they don’t want to kill any pigs. We need to do some pig-killing to get to the sausage.”

###########################################

I have watched the professional politicians and the MSM up on their high horses like pompous asses about Trump’s salty language. I bet der Hildebeast let’s every expletive in the book fly along with a few lamp stands. Maybe she even flys a broom or two.

It was interesting to watch the Golden Globe Awards in 2015, to watch the language go down to the gutter. It was to the delight of movie world all dressed in their finest at the pinnacle of their careers. The words, of course, were edited out, but there were so many sound breaks, I thought my cable box was losing sound.

I bet Max Lucado watched that broadcast with, maybe, one of his three daughters on his lap. He probably blamed the sound problems on his cable box, as he rooted for his favorite movie to win an Oscar. Many of those movies would have had worse than what Trump has said by spades. Maybe he is showing his daughters the definition of a pompous ass—something to avoid if they want to marry a decent man.

No, Max Lucado knows that Trumps battle technique will be the thing that combats what he knows will be the DemonRAT playbook. He knows Trump will trump the Alinsky Method that goes into the gutter to denigrate its targets with a perfected system long used by the DemonRATs. And, that my FRiends is not just sausage making.
