Republicans Worry Trump Gives Party Racist Image
Republicans are concerned that Donald Trump is branding the party as racist.
Some party leaders worry that the favorable response Mr. Trump has received from the Republican electorate is luring other candidates to adopt or echo his remarks. It is a pattern, they say, that could tarnish the party’s image among minority voters.
“Any candidate that allows Trump to dictate the conversation about what they’re campaigning on is going to be harmed irreparably,” said Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist and the architect of Senator Mitch McConnell’s re-election campaign in Kentucky last year. “And to the extent that there are mainstream candidates dragged into the musings of Trump on a day-to-day basis is really bad news for us.”

Trump is saying nothing before live cameras that the most Republicans haven’t been saying for decades in closed private rooms filled with well-heeled backers. The base is eating him up because Trump is saying loud and clear what former Republicans only only said in Newspeak and dog whistles. The base loves it because their poor tiny brains don’t ache from having to figure out what their candidates are saying to them.

Trump is simply confirming what we all knew.
