So you criticize Trump's political views for being outdated by your (subjective) PC standards,

then turn around and slam him for a non-political remark (“see how beautiful my hands are”) because it violates your prudish pre-1960s sexual revolution sensibilities? Got it!
No, I pointed out the fact that bragging about your penis size is childish and not fit for a presidential debate.
It boils down to one simple fact, you are apparently incapable of coming up with an example more relevant to the time we live in. The fact that you have to go back 150 years to find something even remotely comparable shows how rare, and how unacceptable, in our time, this is.
Oh, so you DO deny that sexual mores are looser now than they were in Lincoln's day? Really?
We were talking about, using your words, "such statements were considered taboo." We weren't talking about sexual mores.
Nope. We're just trying to pound some perspective into you.
You are using what is said on a hooker message board to defend what should and should not be said during a presidential debate. This is not a reasonable "perspective." Calling me names does not give me "perspective." It only suggests to me that you don't have faith in your argument so you have to resort to the tired, old ad hominem. Basically, it only makes me more confident in my position.
You bitched about behavior that is “beneath the dignity of the office”. You INVITED comparisons with Obama and other Dims right out of the gate.
Totally agreed that I invited the comparisons. I pretty much explicitly invited them when I asked for more relevant examples. I have no problem with the comparisons. My issue is with you complaining about it and then doing the same.
You're asking ME? You're the one who just claimed Trump is making himself look like a racist. You ought to be full of citations.
Someone already pointed out what I wanted cited, so I am just reiterating my desire for a citation.
