MODERATORS
It's a real lack of understanding if they assume that people are only voting for her because she is black. It's going to be a really really weak strategy
They made the same stupid assumption about Obama. Both times.
I still remember when he won in 2008, feeling happy that he was able to win, not because he was black but despite it. He didn't campaign on it at all. In hindsight, he campaigned on a vague notion of change, which I'm sure many thought it meant more than it really did.
And then Hilary actually did campaign about voting her in because she's a woman and it's her turn. While Trump took on the vague "drain the swamp" message that many likely believed he meant something different by (when in hindsight, it was either an outright lie or he specifically meant the "swamp" of barriers between him and making money from whatever half-baked scam he was currently chasing).
That said, let them think that. They'll just waste their time making themselves look worse for focusing so much attention on something that isn't really relevant to anything. I'm not even sure who the intended target audience of that accusation is. He might just end up making her more palatable for racists who are getting tired of him.
They cannot find a good angle of attack and I'm loving it.
This is their best shot. Trump ran as a reform candidate, but he never delivered. At best (?) he built a fence that didn't do anything. So he's desperate to avoid policy discussions.
Rightists are fucked in the head. They're probably imagining how they would react if they found out one of theirs wasn't white.
I mean their candidate is orange, and brown is just darker orange.
Nikki Haley?
