These are terrible people and if you’re still a Republican at this point, it’s not a deal breaker for you.

          It’s bad, as in evil bad, but it’s not “Hillary’s emails” bad for him. (Which I mention because it’s the anniversary of the FBI reopening the investigation, which turned out to show no laws broken, but it tanked her campaign.)

          Remember when Trump said he could kill someone and not lose a single vote? It’s even more true now. What we need to do is get every sane vote INTO THE BALLOT TABULATORS, and those of all of the convinceable crazies as well.

          Its kinda surprising to me that this seems to get some of them more defensive that some of his previous controversies, its not like Trump isnt known for racism. Best I can think of is that Puerto Rico is a US territory rather than a foreign country, but given how much it gets just kinda forgotten about in US politics, that doesnt feel like the right explanation.

      I certainly hope so, but it’s by no means assured. I still remember how gut-wrenching it was when he won 8 years ago, and if he does again those following 4 years will seem like a fun time by comparison.
