Without a doubt. I really believe that what we are seeing today in the way Trump is running is something that would have embarrassed a man like Lincoln. He was always a gentleman and would have never stood for men talking about women the way Trump does. Lincoln's wife, while not always his greatest adviser, was beloved to him and he would have never shown her or any woman the kind of public or private disrespect that Trump has displayed. Lincoln was not an equal opportunity abuser.
