Lock up the locker-room talk

Although Donald Trump says that Hillary Clinton should be put in jail, perhaps it’s his locker-room talk that needs to be arrested.

The butt of Trump’s recently publicized trash talk is now speaking out against this crude objectification of women.  Nancy O’Dell, who resisted the so-called irresistible Trump “charm,” states that “no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments.”

She furthermore asserts:  Everyone deserves respect no matter the setting or gender.  Apologies aside, Trump apparently has not gotten that memo.  His “I am the law” type comments during the second presidential debate seem tremendously lacking in respect for his opponent, as well as for democracy itself.
