...In real life, expletives are often used as a form of aggression or cruelty. A co-worker who tells you to Trump yourself is usually being unpleasant. A co-worker who does this every day is often creating a hostile or demeaning work environment. Language suitable for decent company is a form of politeness, which is a species of respect, which is an expression of morality. And if I am the last holdout on this issue, so be it. I don't really give a damn.
Win or lose, Trump has brought the language and sensibilities of cable TV to presidential politics...

Trump made SURE that everybody in the audience knew what she said and when some still didn't hear he repeated it himself. You're not a fool, are you? Because I'm sure not.
Point is Respect. Seems as not a lot being shown between posters.
You respect her and rightfully so!!!
A lot of the crudity here shows a lack of respect.
That is my point.
Thanks.
You mean you’ll take Trump no matter what. I’m curious what you and others like you will say if evidence emerges indicating Trump was out chasing prepubescent girls at prearranged orgies with the other billionaires and ex Presidents. There’s a reason he hasn’t brought that little nugget up in regards to Bill and Hillary championing women’s rights. The man who will say anything about anybody hasn’t touched that topic...But his fellow republican is a pu_ _y.
And you see nothing odd or weird about a 63-year-old man going up to a 5 or 6-year-old boy, lifting his shirt up and placing his mouth on the boy’s bare stomach? Nah, nothing at all wrong about that.
He’s making all the right enemies: George Will, Glen Beck, Gerson, Bush, etc.
I've observed this to be the case many times in my long life, and exceptions are rare.
I've also learned that those who use profanity in professional situations generally lack dignity and are not deserving of trust.
Profanity in certain military situations is, however, entirely appropriate; and, as a veteran, I could repeat some genuinely funny stories. (I'll choose instead to preserve the dignity of this forum.)

“He’s making all the right enemies: George Will, Glen Beck, Gerson, Bush, etc.”
...and 70% of republican primary voters.
But it has received the seal of approval by many. The bar has been lowered considerably.
I didn’t say that it wasn’t creepy.

LOL!!! Thanks!!!
You talk about respect but your first comment was to know if I would ask that to my mother.
Also:
It has been said, “Cursing is the attempt of weak mind to express itself forcefully.”
Cursing, calling your opponents names and repeating false accusations against them is a cheap excuse for engaging in a civil, intellectual exchange.
Sure would like to see the discussion elevated!!
Trump is one of the laziest candidates I have ever seen. After all these months, he still hasn’t bothered to learn very much about the issues. He doesn’t understand conservatism. He’s just an empty, angry, $4,000 suit.
Think my first question was:
“Would you call your mother one?”
I don’t think you would.
#NewYorkValues on display.
Would you? What would you say or do to someone that did? Nothing, because unlike Trump’s make believe tough guy image you are the exact opposite. Which is what attracts you and others like you to Trump. He pretends to be the strong person you never could be.
Was that your suspected conclusion before you asked?
Come on, he’s done his homework. Someone told him there weren’t many evangelicals in New Hampshire so now he using the word pu_ _ y in his stump speech. Because that’s how Republicans that don’t go to church talk to each other. Or so he’s been told.
