....

What's he gotta do?

If he comes out and condems the skinheads and NAZIs- his detractors will just say he's insincere.

Perhaps if he publicly beheaded David Duke.

But then - he would be labeled a murderous freak who doesn't respect human life.

The orange schlub can't win.


I feel sorry for the dufus sometime....

Trump is a deeply flawed individual, but his detractors are unable to deal with him rationally. One would hope the press could function as a dispassionate check against Trump's worst impulses, but the press is incompetent and hopelessly partisan.

For supporters of Trump rationality bounces off them like bullets from batfinks wings of steal.
They are after all mainly Christians and used to accepting bollocks a fact.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

This is often true of partisan "true believers". My point about the incompetent press is that there are persuadable people in the polity, but the press's dogmatic partisanship and grotesque journalistic incompetence ensures they play no role as influencers. Whatever Trump's support level is--just under half the country or so--they are not all crazy like Trump.

They’re crazy enough to take a trump in trade for whatever non crazy thing they may want.

You're making the same (wrong) assumption that Brian is - that everyone who voted Trump, supports Trump.

I know lots of people who voted Trump. 

Not "for Trump".

They figured he was slightly less worse (not better) than Hillary.

A similar decision with regards to carrying trumps racist water might go a long way.

I have to go with Deese on this one.  Years of hateful, racist rhetoric from Trump don't get erased by a few minutes of political expediency.

Wouldn’t matter if it did. He’s back to racist fever tweeting again.

It's getting closer to election time. Trump's handlers are telling him to backpedal on the white supremacy thing.

He can say what he wants - his past actions and unbelievable remarks are there for all of us to see/hear.

I think his crew know that things have finally gone too far and they are trying to run damage control. All they can hope for is that he stays on script.
