Donald Trump lectures Democrats on civility !

Just the idea of Donald Trump criticizing anyone on the lack of civility strains credulity. But he could not resist calling Maxine Waters "low IQ" and warned her to be careful what she wished for.

Perhaps this is a good time to discuss "civility"? We have never experienced such a time of "incivility" as the present, at least in my lifetime. Once upon a time, we did have a "Civil" War. There was not a lot of "civility" back then, either.

Let's talk about the most crude, uncivil, fear-mongering, demeaning person to ever lead this country. He sets the example. It is to be expected that some of his opponents will react to his rude and crude comments. It is difficult to be nice to someone who never has a kind word for you.

But, that seems to be what people are asking Democrats to do? They are willing to overlook the uncivil attacks from Donald Trump but they want to hold everyone else responsible. Why is that??

Did anyone see Donald Trump in SC yesterday? He can't help being uncivil. That is his nature. Democrats should not run from this debate.
