First of all, let me say that I in no way condone Donald Trump’s (or anyone else’s) ”locker room talk.” I was in high school and college in the early to mid-sixties and spent lots of time in locker rooms while being involved in sports. I can assure you that there were comments and conversations that would make Trump’s comments sound like a Sunday school lesson. In spite of the pro-Hillary, hypocritical comments by some professional athletes (i.e. Michael Bennett) I am willing to bet that this type of banter is alive and well in our high school, college and professional sports locker rooms. I am also willing to bet with our current equal opportunities for female athletes that some conversations in the women’s locker rooms would make Trump and everyone else blush as well.
I am not even close to supporting Donald Trump but the real obscenity in the current presidential campaign is Clinton’s inability to tell the truth about anything. She has lied to the American people, to the families of the victims of the Benghazi debacle, to Congress and to the FBI She has destroyed evidence and has impeded criminal investigations and seems to have a hedge of protection around her by the Justice Department, the F.B.I., and the main stream media. While I think Donald Trump’s bombastic comments and lack of character may be reasons to preclude him from moving into the White House, I do agree with one of his comments — Hillary Clinton belongs in jail not the Oval Office.
