\"trump-women\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald J. Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, tried — in some sort of fashion — to defend his former boss’s conduct regarding women.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you’ve heard. The Washington Post published a story in which Republican presidential nominee Trump was caught on a “hot mic” saying some ghastly things about women.<\/p>\n

Lewandowski said: “I’ve never heard anything like this out of him and so let me say, we are appointing a leader, we are electing a leader to the free world, we’re not electing a Sunday school teacher.”<\/p>\n

Sure thing, Corey. I get that.<\/p>\n

But don’t we have the right to expect the “leader of the free world” to behave like a mature adult?<\/p>\n

The so-called “locker room talk,” which is how Trump has described it, did not occur when Trump was a kid. It happened 11 years ago. Trump was just shy of turning 60. He was newly married to Melania, his third wife.<\/p>\n

This is how a future major-party presidential nominee should talk?<\/p>\n
