Trump speaking off-teleprompter in Tampa ...

no way this guy is for real. No way.

He may very well turn all 50 states blue. "I love the Mexican people. I have lots of Mexican people working for me." CNN analysis: "Does that show he's not racist?"

Question to CNN: Since so many slave-owners had lots of African-American people "working" for them, does that mean they weren't racist?

Seriously, there is no way this guy is for real. He cannot possibly be THIS BAD.

He's...well, he's a mess, it's that simple.

Rather than making a feint for Pennsylvania they way they always do, the Republicans may be making a feint to save Georgia from turning blue this time around.

And so are all of the Republicans that haven't withdrawn their endorsements of him.

On the other hand, CNN created a false equivalency, as you point out. In fact, do they even have to ask if Donald Trump is a racist? Can you imagine Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley or any of the old-guard TV journalists acting like this?
