A decent person would say I never asked for foreign interference in our elections and I will do everything possible to ensure it never happens again.

There have been 44 presidents, some of high moral character, some of low moral character, and some in the middle. Donald Trump will have the lowest character of any man that occupied that office.

wouldn't be excused as "the NEW normal".

As it is, he doesn't have to express morality or conscience.

He can lie. It's ignored.

He can tweet inflammatory and potentially dangerous statements. They simply put his flack on the air to say it's "presidential" because the "president-elect" does it.

So, with the assistance of a compliant, Republican-loving MSM, Trump can make shit up as he goes.

The worst of it will be ignored (simply imagine if then-Senator Obama was on tape talking about popping a Tic-Tac and grabbing a woman by the p***y); the rest will be debated and normalized as a new style of governance.
