This may be the case. But there is a counter argument to be made here. What
aren’t people talking about right now? They aren’t talking about the facts
of the Trump University lawsuit (polling during the Republican primary
campaign showed that this was Trump supporters’ biggest concern). They also
aren’t talking about Hillary Clinton’s widely praised speech attacking
Trump on foreign policy.
Of course, they are talking about Trump’s racially inflammatory comments.
But people know this about Trump. There’s nothing new there. For better or
for worse, I think it’s baked in. I’m not sure he loses more ground from
this.
We saw this same routine during the Republican primary season: deflect some
new bad news with an outlandish statement that sucks the oxygen out of the
room, and push the news narrative into a feedback loop that he keeps going,
comprised of already existing negatives. We were assured that this wouldn’t
work in the campaign against Clinton. I certainly thought that. Yet, here
we are again, in the aftermath of what was billed as the first Clinton salvo
of the general election campaign. |
