I've covered presidential campaigns for decades. I've never had to bleep — or drop an asterisk into — a candidate's speech.

Until this year.

Take this Donald Trump quote from a rally in Virginia:

"We're gonna win with the military. We're gonna knock the s*** out of ISIS. We're gonna knock the s*** out of them."

That's one of the big lines of a typical Trump speech. Then there was the time he didn't actually drop the F-bomb. He just mouthed it to the camera.

"We're gonna have businesses that used to be in New Hampshire that are now in Mexico come back to New Hampshire and you can tell them to go ..." he paused to mouth the word, "... themselves."

1. "This is why we fight"

An old WW2 poster stated that, but certainly should be resurrected since a Drumpf Presidency is the BIGGEST danger to our democracy in my recollection.

4. Too common everywhere

Vulgar language has become too common everywhere. I came to this board looking for thoughtful thinking and dialogue and find much, but I do not understand why so many gratuitously toss F this F that.

If we think it reflects poorly on them, why act like them?

5. The " F" word is the one word I will NEVER use in a comment

But I have substituted fudge for the sentiment.
