He was an affirmative action pick that turned out to be neither competent nor particularly Republican. But he was black so that was what mattered.

The new undercurrent is that GOP folk are upset that Trump is not talking about the economy. That's code for "we wish he would stop talking about illegal immigration because that's making us take a position on it too" and they'd rather not have to lie and say they are against it.

Excellent point.

It did not help.
