Dump just lost the election.

[roamer65]

He wouldn’t criticize Proud Boys or other white supremacy groups.

[regnaD kciN]

1. Playing to white supremacists sure didn't hurt him last time...

[philly_bob]

2. He said Proud Boys should "stand down...stand by"

Check the transcript.

Stand by means almost the opposite of stand down.

[Hekate]

4. In other words, rooting for insurrection

[Tommymac]

6. Bad JuJU coming.

For Trump.

[TomSlick]

7. He said: "Stand back and stand by."

[philly_bob]

11. Yes that's what CNN says and that's even worse.

[TomSlick]

12. I rewound the DVR and listened a couple of times to be sure.

He asked the Proud Boys to be ready to take action.

[Codeine]

3. We're a nation of white supremacists.

Why on earth would that hurt him?

[FakeNoose]

5. Chump is an angry, lying bully

That is all.

[hlthe2b]

8. I hope to hell you are right.

I am just beside myself... Just trying to keep calm, but I so want to reach through that screen and throttle him.

[jayfish]

9. "Oh My Sweet Summer Child".

We have a loooong way to go.

[Silent3]

10. Nah, Trump's ass-kissers will think Trump is being "strong"

The declared white supremacists will love the avoidance and the dog whistle.

The undeclared white supremacists (most other Republicans) won't care that he avoided confronting white supremacy.

All his supporters will eat up his constant interruptions.

I don't see this moving the needle either way, as we Democrats are of course disgusted by how Trump is acting.

[Norbert]

13. Dump in a NUTshell

1. Nobody has done more than me.
2. __________ has been a disaster. (Obama, Biden, Big city mayors, the Paris Agreement, The press...)
3. Let's try to talk over Joe at every turn (the Hannity strategy).

Dump needed a good night to get back in the race. This didn't even come within an area code of that.
