Why Trump’s Unwillingness to Denounce His KKK Endorsements Won’t Sway His Supporters

The most recent attack against Donald Trump focuses around his refusal to denounce the endorsements of white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and others. These attacks seem viable to logical, faithful, discerning voters… and therein lies the problem.

We’ve known for a long time based upon their support of the liberal, unprincipled Trump that his supporters are not logical, faithful, or discerning. Of course Trump won’t condemn the endorsements of anyone and is willing to claim ignorance about such organizations. He knows that they represent a large part of his base, the same base that would never support a Cuban- or African-American.

This should be no surprise to anyone:

Let’s state with 100% certainty that Donald Trump knows who David Duke is. He’s been in the news referring to Trump for a few days now. He is synonymous with the KKK and has been in the public eye for decades. If, for some reason, you still believe that Trump doesn’t know who David Duke is, let’s look back two days before the interview when Trump apparently knew exactly who he was.

It’s either a baldfaced lie or a major senior moment. Either should worry voters.

With all of that said, there’s absolutely no reason why we should be pointing any of this out. It won’t work! Most Trump supporters already know he embraces the white supremacy movement and those who do not know are too wrapped up in his authoritarian daddy-issues sales pitch to notice.

If there was any doubt that he would get obliterated in the general election, this alone should make most people realize he will only win 8 states regardless of which weak Democratic opponent comes his way. It will be brought up over and over again by the Democrats and they will gather more information to prove with zero doubt that he’s a closet white supremacist. A Trump nomination is a general election bloodbath.

The bottom line is this: those who oppose the KKK but support Trump are too lost in his sales pitch to hear anything but what they want to hear. The rest of his supporters approve of the KKK (albeit quietly for some). Exposing this truth about him is non-starter.
