Why do so many people think it's OK for Trump to behave like a low-class, ill-mannered boor?

36. Maybe there's a mob mentality at these rallies.

I'm just having a lot of trouble understanding how someone could cheer any politician who speaks with such vulgarity and viciousness toward others - other politicians, media people, celebrities, anyone who disagrees with him. If I ever heard a Democratic politician or any candidate for office speak the way Trump does, I would lose all respect for them. Tough criticism is one thing, but calling people things like "low I.Q." or "son of a bitch" is so far beyond the pale I don't understand how it can be tolerated, let alone cheered. And I know many of these people can't have been brought up that way. Some of Trump's most ardent defenders are Southerners, and the South has a tradition of good manners. Their mothers would have washed their mouths out with laundry soap if some of those #MAGA-hat-wearing good ol' boys talked that kind of trash in front of them.

And don't get me started on hush money for porn stars. Remember when Bill Clinton was nearly drawn and quartered for his dalliance with Monica Lewinski? It was all "What will we tell the children?" I'd like to know how the GOPers are explaining their nasty, adulterous, potty-mouthed president to their children these days.
