It’s indicative of how far the standard of public debate has fallen in the US that a presidential candidate can make comments (or attempt jokes) like this and get away with it. Say what you like about the state of UK politics but nobody in public office could say anything remotely like this and not be hounded out of their job within a week.

Indeed, I don’t disagree but the reason he liked by so many, and indeed hated by so many (mainly establishment types) is that he is not a polished politician….still….he has no filter and says lots of things a career politician wouldn’t.
Is the joke in poor taste? Yes, it was the first thing I said several posts ago. Should you say it as a presidential candidate in front of an audience……..probably not.
Would you say it at home or to a group of friends……probably yes.
That’s who and what he is.
