Look, I'm not averse to using swear words myself and I find myself uttering my most intense expletive-ridden tirades at Obama and the libs/progs/Dems all the time. But come on, do Washington's outbursts on the battle field and Reagan cursing in frustration during a private taping session really equate to Trump gratuitously echoing potty-mouthed insults leveled at a member of our own party during a public campaign event? Could you imagine any of the previously mentioned great presidents of our past ever engaging in this very sort of behavior? I can't.

I think what frustrates me most is, if we've truly reached the point in our culture where one has to resort to guttural tactics and appealing to the lowest common denominator to win anything, I just wish for once the folks on our side would attack the DEMOCRATS with the same passion and heated vitriol as we do with attacking our own!

The point is that they both did use that type of language. Regan even did as president, although the clip isnt on YouTube.

“Could you imagine any of the previously mentioned great presidents of our past ever engaging in this very sort of behavior? I can’t. “

Yeah, I can, because they have. Go read on the election of 1800 for a freshman course on what people said in elections then. The only reason you dont see this as regular language is because historians made an effort to gloss over it.

Just so you know, these are their actual words.

This isnt really even about the language as it is about people finally seeing someone standing up for themselves and not following some BS rules of “decorum” that does nothing for us but make as sure losers in November. When the General starts, Trump will turn it on the Democrats just like they are sure to turn it on him, or whomever.
