I see people saying that Trump went to fire up his racist base, that makes no sense to me - he was tied in the polls.

@Bix

Colby King's oped in the WaPo yesterday was about that. Perhaps not so much as "firing up" as "keeping the MAGA crowd satiated with racism and lib-owning."

Trump was polling around 20% of the black vote before the interview. So, not a great play, unless he wants a whites only campaign.

The nadir of the GOP's Southern Strategy has no nadir, dear Bixie.

There is no bottom, and nonsense is sense when you worship Donald John Trump. The donors are paying for the assuagement of dolts who think WWE and televangelists are real and racists who are in reaction against a nascent multiethnic democracy. That's the demographic and it must be reassured.

Also, with all that "we have the votes, I don't need more votes" they presume the fix is in.
