if you think a tape possibly existing of the President of the United States using the N-word is shocking just wait until it's finally played and his approval rating goes upLink to tweet

It puzzles me that the same people who believe a Blue Wave will sweep out the Republicans in November believe Trump's approval will go up if he was captured using the N word on tape. The two propositions are mutually exclusive. If you accept the latter proposition you must of necessity believe he should incorporate the N-word into his daily vocabulary.

(99,710 posts)If Oswalt's supposition that a tape of Trump using the N Word would result in his approval ratings going up which means people who previously disapproved of his job now approve of it, it logically follows that he should include the word in all his public appearances. Maybe he should just repeat the repeat the word to infinity like a person suffering from Tourette syndrome . The fact he won't shows how vacuous Oswalt's tweets and similar tweets are.

(972 posts)The problem is most of this is already baked in. We saw this is in the primary and General Election. If it was a normal politician it would be Earth shattering but he has said and done so many shocking and things over the last 3 years that people have basically ran out of outrage or ability to be shocked by what he says and does. People in the middle at least.

He already has 100% of the Neo Nazi, KKK, White Supremacist, Alt-Right vote.
