In his Nov. 10 column, “Trump’s chance to change the narrative,” Cal Thomas called Donald Trump’s win a victory for those who eschew the “coarseness and crassness” of Jay-Z and Beyonce. I am positively dumbfounded at this comment: Trump is a man who has shouted four-letter words at his rallies, not to mention his grossly vulgar remarks on the Hollywood Access tapes.

So Trump is a man who will deliver us from coarseness and crudeness? Really?
