It’s prime time for making mountains out of molehills – a season most political hacks relish. A key theme would be Donald Trump’s behavior patterns with the opposite sex.
How can we describe the ways? “Brash,” “bluster,” “blunt,” “gross,” “badgering,” “vulgar,” “harassing,” “coercing,” “intimidating” and on and on. Not a new pitfall, but one that gets on the front page every time.
Trump has apologized and focused his attention on a rigged system. Now, that is a mountain with a history.
Even a staunch Democrat and friend of Jack Kennedy, New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, suggested in his 1978 book “A Dangerous Place” that most likely Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley stuffed the ballot boxes (with passed-on Irish names) in the 1960 presidential election.
Richard Nixon cried “I was robbed!” and outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower agreed with him; however, that mountain became a dribble via lack of attention by the press. Oh hum!
