Frankly, playing the gentleman or by Marquis of Queensberry rules has gotten us nowhere in an ever-increasing coarse, feminized and decayed culture. Trump’s bluntness and no bullcrap (what you call “vulgarity”) is frankly refreshing, if only because it speaks truth to power. It’s time someone stood up and called a spade a spade. If he reigns it in, he loses his strength.

It’s unfortunate we never had the chance to elect a Patton as President, because he was similarly a threat to the establishment and wouldn’t have put up with decades of a Cold War with the Soviets or the undermining of our government and culture by the anti-American left.

Come to think of it, Trump very well could echo those characteristics of strength in the Presidency we haven’t had in decades. I think he can teach us how to be unapologetically masculine again.

I generally agree with you but do you have any evidence that this lifelong Democrat Trump is anything better than a political panderer on the border issue who talks dirty? Do I really want, out of a field of 17 candidates, the one who wants to discuss Megan Kelly's menstrual periods (if, at her age, she still has them)? That would be a no unless and until Trump takes on more substance at the expense of brainless bombast. For all we know, he is nothing but Willard with a coarser mouth and no track record to be held against him (at least in public office).

All I am asking is that, before people start stampeding off a cliff, we ought to know what his policies are, force him to make promises which can be used to destroy him (a la Bush the Elder's no new taxes) if he is lying. I don't know the Donald personally. From the moment Ronaldus Maximus left the White House, we have witnessed an unrelieved parade of worthless second raters or worse (Slick Willie or Comrade Obozo) as POTUS. I'm looking for quality this time.

When you say Trump might stand up and call a spade a spade, I somehow do not imagine that to be n exercise in masculinity but rather an unacceptable verbal mugging of an impertinent reporter.

Again, Trump is no Patton.
