Of course Drumpf trades in racism, he just doesnā€™t pay the invoice or provide the goods.

Thank you Shep

Hit any Trump supporter who either believes that he isnā€™t a racist or that they support the candidate.

So Grimaldi was just outed for just being a stenographer, or covering his ass for access.

I heard Grimaldi on KQEDā€™s Forum a couple weeks ago. He doesnā€™t sound like heā€™s in the bag for Trump. Or at least he didnā€™t on that program. I wouldnā€™t really know from his writing because WSJ paywall.

edit: I listened to this and it gave me heartburn thinking whether the ā€œemailsā€ thing was a thing or not in terms of the election. Some of the callers were pretty frustrated at what they perceived the pandering to false equivalency.

Based on Hillaryā€™s move today, Iā€™m a lot more confident that she can put Trump on the defensive in a big way and defang this ongoing drip-drip about the ā€œdamn emailsā€

People who call in to those types of things are a different subset then the general electorate.

When Smith asked if Clintonā€™s attacks were more ā€œdocumentedā€ than Trumpā€™s, Grimaldi said that perhaps they were and that Trump ā€œtrades in hyperbole.ā€

Yes. They are. Including multiple court findings and judgments that found Trump acted like a racist in his refusing to rent to blacks and hispanics back in the day.

ā€œWell, Iā€™ll leave that up to the commentators to talk about whether he isā€ - says the ā€˜investigative journalistā€™.

Grimaldi is a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist (jack abramoff case) for Wapo and now WSJ. I just donā€™t get it, what does he think heā€™s protecting by not declaring DJT a racist or ā€œtrades in racismā€? Why is it so hard to accept that an openly racist candidate will still get 40-45% of the popular vote? Doesnā€™t he realize what country he lives in, that the presence or absence of melanin is still a big deal for just under half the country? But his evident discomfort hopefully will go viral.

Donā€™t watch cable news, but always enjoy a Shep Smith clip.

It could be that he just isnā€™t really comfortable in a live news setting, given heā€™s a print journalist. The live medium really does want you to go ā€œall inā€ on some POV and it seems like a failure if itā€™s any less than that.
