This used to be called tact, manners and grace.

Trump's perceives that he has nothing to fear from the PCers. I think he's correct.
He's correct if it is not his goal to win a majority of the vote in a fair general election....

Some people like Trump because he is not politically correct. Non-political correctness is the mantra of the well-entitled but disaffected class of Americans who don't want to share with those that are "different." Or as someone told me in the OR at my part-time job "the free stuff." I am sure there are middle-aged and younger people who feel the same way, especially in an economy like this one, with companies moving assembly plants to Mexico.

Quite correct. The campaign against "PC" is just an excuse for self-identified assholes to be rude and offensive using the 1st amendment as an excuse.

1. Initially, 'political correctness' was a demand from someone with some power to back it up that others conform to doctrine. So it was authoritarian and bad.
2. Wing nuts took this 'label of badness' and have applied it to ANY call for people to have some concern in their speech for civility and consideration.
