Re: political correctness. I always want to hear something that people say political correctness is preventing them from saying. The guy in the video hesitated to say the c-word and the p-word (though the reporter had no problem). Is it really about certain words or how those words are used. For example, a comedian might make a joke containing a line like "and he put the Jews into the ovens." Many people would find such a joke tasteless, offensive and even cruel. Ok, it would probably be considered politically incorrect to make such a joke. Otoh, someone would argue that we have free speech and it was only a joke. ("And he chucked out the Mexican" --if you remember that one). However, if a politician would stand up and say that I'm going to put Jews into the ovens, imo it is no longer a question of political correctness. So, I always want to hear an example before I say that it's "destroying the country." It is hardly a question of making offensive jokes.
I agree, I think it clearly shows the differences between the two parties as far as this current election anyway which is also why I believe there are Republicans speaking out that is to say he doesn't represent all of "us" on the other hand he clearly represents enough to have received the nomination.
