It is also the Catch-22 in which the best of our journalists may find themselves. Lay off Trump and normalize him. Or attack him and provide more elitist fodder for the gremlins who support him. For whether you sympathize with their plight or not, gremlins they are. That’s why nothing Trump does, no matter how egregious—not making fun of women or minorities or the disabled, not flirting with white supremacists, not asking Putin to breach American security, not using the fascist slogan “America First,” not refusing to release tax returns, not lying again and again and again—none of these can damage his support among those white male non-college-educated voters. For them, these are not reasons not to vote for Trump. They are the very reasons why they should vote for him—because he is so inappropriate, because he is so wrong-headed, because he antagonizes the people who antagonize them.
Folks need to recognize this is not the capture the independents election, but an election strategy based totally on turn-out. tRumpt knows the crazier and "anti-PC" he sounds the more the Reich Wingers will turn out. So, expect an outrageous statement per day or per week, there is method to his madness. Unfortunately.
