Republican presidential hopefuls, however, remain curiously silent. So please, Jake Tapper, broach the topic during tonight's GOP debate. As our own Kevin Drum explains, it might even give GOP candidates a shot at demonstrating that unlike their party's current front runner, "occasionally they care about obvious bigotry like this."
