More from Andrew McCarthy:
Truly. In 1966, which is not exactly millennia ago, Trump’s vulgarity would have had him banned from appearing on anyone’s black-and-white TV — even after midnight.
Today, he is the front-runner. Today, in fact, he is coveted not by the blue channels but by the news channels. He is ratings. He sells.
He is Viagra without commercials. Trump is what he is, though. There is some shock, but no surprise. What John Podhoretz nails as the “living civic nightmare” that is the GOP sweepstakes is not about a demented demagogue’s march to the 2016 erection election. It is about what has become of us. Trump is coveted not by the blue channels but by the news channels. He is ratings. He sells. He is Viagra without commercials.
Trump’s appeal is said to be his penchant for giving voice to the angry masses. But he is not a fit vessel for fighting the social suffocation brought on by political correctness. Trump says out loud things that no healthy person would even think, much less say — I mean, Ivanka is so hot that if she wasn’t my daughter, I’d probably be dating her? Whose mind works that way?
But he is not a fit vessel for fighting the social suffocation brought on by political correctness.

Well, Andrew, you are exactly right! (A little Ted Cruz lingo ;-) However, we gave you folks ample notice that we didn’t like the political correctness and you did nothing but throw one Tea Party Candidate after the other under the bus, and run and hide after each PC attack. So we had to wait for Samson to show up, grab the jawbone of a donkey, and start slaying Philistines! Wait until he ties those foxes tail to tail with touches, lights the torches and lets them go in your establishment fields! Go Trump!
Trump’s vulgarity sells. That’s why the networks love him. He’s a constant topic of conversation and condemnation on all channels. He’s entirely a creation of the media.
It reminds me of the movie Network. Satire has become reality. We have a rotten, corrupt political system led by the likes of Clinton and the “Clinton Foundation” , where offices and influence are openly sold on the international market. We are a society without morals. So now we have some blowhard telling us that he’s mad as hell, and he won’t take it any more, and all his followers obediently chant along.
LOL, the proof that Trump IS a fit vessel for the fight against PC is the very fact that he's being lambasted FOR NOT being PC!
Look at this very quote, look at its example - shaming the working of his mind! NOT a contesting of the quote on its own merits! That IS political correctness! That is the shaming and dismissal of a SUBJECT per se, and a refusal to address the merits of an actual quote, position, statement, whatever. As if the subject itself - in this case a father's appreciation of his daughters beauty - is so inherently suspect and foul, there can be no possible justification if it (when actually it's the accuser's mind that is exposed as foul through the perversion of the implied accusation).
And, once that subject had been identified by shaming alone, then the mind of the person who committed that general category violation is called into question. And note, at no time did the PC bastard making these condemnations ever address the specifics of the "violation" in a way that could be answered or discussed! That's because the reader is either "in" or "out" - the subject itself is irrelevant. Only loyalty to the accuser matters.
This IS the ESSENCE of political correctness - the demanding of mental obedience through shaming - and a perfect example of the PC sickness.
McCarthy is sick, mentally ill, and neither he nor his followers even realize it. They've drowned in the ocean of political correctness and died to their own consciences. And that insanity is exactly what Trump is smashing to pieces, and why all these PC drug addicts are screaming bloody murder over it.
So Rubio makes the first crude implication.
Trump responds.
But in YOUR eyes, Trump is the crude one...
I’ll take you seriously when you direct your ire to the man who took the first step in that direction.
Until then, you’re a bully. A biased pontificate and you deserve no notice.
... a sick father, that's who's mind! He has already cheated numerous times and bragged about it openly.
But don't bother any Freeper/Trumpers with that fact... we are in the modern era here with no morals.... THE WALL... that is all.. THE WALL...and sending illegals home. ( oh that last point is already being negotiated... and won't happen)
