what are the political norms now, anyway?

I'm curious what are the political norms now, in the age of Trump, anyway?

So open racism, bigotry, sexual banter, cheating on your wife, corruption ... it's all good now?

Is this new life for disgraced pols like John Edwards and all these people?

Who can really be considered unelectable any more?
