" (CNN) On Thursday night, Donald Trump did the unthinkable. Sometimes, he admitted, I say "the wrong thing." But Trump wants you to know he "regrets it ... particularly where it may have caused too much personal pain." At the end of the day, though, his apology doesn't matter. Not just because Donald Trump hasn't given us any reason to believe he means it, but because he's not the one who has to seek forgiveness. We the people do.
For an apology to be accepted, it's got to be clear what you're apologizing for. Trump never clarified. For an apology to be meaningful, we've got to know that the mistake you made doesn't disqualify you from the position you seek. But no adult should have to apologize for the kinds of things Donald Trump has said while seeking high office, because no adult should say those things.

"When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists."

(3,138 posts)The media wants to dismiss this as a one night stand. They want to say "go home republican party you're drunk; you won't want this guy tomorrow". But they are wrong. A lot of republicans want to marry this guy, and they've been dreaming about someone like him ever since the "southern strategy" became a thing.
Make no mistake, the republicans will date more assholes before they finally slow down and re-evaluate what they are looking for in a partner.
The rest of us will have to wait and hope like hell that the rest of the country doesn't decide to go along for the ride.
