Yeah, but of course we already knew that, didn't we.
"According to a Morning Consult survey of 1,362 registered voters released Friday, 50 percent of voters think Trump’s comments about Judge Curiel were racist. Another 19 percent of voters said that while the comments weren’t racist, they were unacceptable. Even 56 percent of Republican voters viewed Trump’s remarks as either racist or unacceptable."

Just a few things to note:
1. 50% of ALL voters view Trump's comments about Curiel as racist.
2. This is from Breitbart....THE most utterly loyal "news" source around.
3. According to Ben Carson, Trump HIMSELF knows his comments were wrong....but of course he can't admit being wrong in public (ever) or else he would...
A. show he is not "god-like"
B. contradict his defenders for the past week.
Either or both of which... his cultists would find anathema.
The bad news here is, 44% of Republicans view Trump's comments as racist AND delightful. ;-)
Well, we already knew that, didn't we. Of course Trump is a racist, that's his niche. He is a populist simply trying to gain votes and win power through whatever means possible. He has chosen the Andrew Jackson strategy (tried and true, I might add) of running against Washington.
As for Clinton, she's another populist sociopath. She crafts her opinions and policies simply to gather her as much power as possible, without regard for any sort of principle.
Of course these individuals are sort of required to appeal to a niche to achieve a following - nobody is enthusiastic about pure centrism. In maintaining his niche Trump has done a much worse job than Hillary, it is true. He changes from Democrat to Republican and laissez-faire to spend-and-tax like it's nothing, whereas Clinton has been a partisan tool consistently across the board, which gives her an advantage.
This could come back to bite him in the ass, although past experience seems to indicate that it's unlikely. After all, lots of conservatives still think Reagan was fiscally responsible - it's unlikely they'll see through Trump's games AND vote for Washington (Hillary). Although Romney and his Never Trump wing has been rather active as of late.
