This is just another case of willful blindness opening one eye. If Trump were winning, those eyes would have remained shut tight.

What a pile of bullshit. What concerns this asshole, and everyone like him, is that Trump is saying what they are all thinking.

The problem isn't Trump, or his total incompetence, or his racism, or his lack of business acumen--George W. Bush had all of those things and they are still apologizing for him to this day. The problem is the appearance that Donald Trump is presenting, the public airing of the stupid policies and beliefs that they all pursue and believe in private.

It's the living embodiment of that Flannery O'Connor story: they'd have been good people if someone were there to hold a gun to their heads, their whole lives.
