By the time this is over, you guys will have twisted yourselves into intellectual pretzels coming up with accomodations to Trump's campaign.  He is all over the place, and no one cares.     The rest of us are watching the Trump apologists who are willing to accept, and then reframe, every contradictory, racist, exaggerated statement he makes... made by a guy who has little regard for what he says or how he says it.   Good luck with all that.    Honest conservative thinkers are going to diminish themselves if they join in the chorus.  

Anybody who can look at the Jake Tapper interview and believe that Trump didn't understand the question is engaging in really distorted thinking.   Of course he heard the question, he was only confused about how to answer because he was making a calculation that he wanted those racist voters to believe he is their guy.   To see it otherwise is to deny what you saw with your own eyes.

But Trump is having that effect on a lot of people.  

Pitiful.   Supporting a buffoon like Trump only because you hate 'that Black guy in the White House' and anyone who supports a continuation of his efforts.   Logic and reason be damned.   It's what your politics has come to.
