President Trump is a horrendous racist. And it’s time for Democrats to stop calling him one.
Counterintuitive? Yes. But substantial evidence shows that labeling Trump “racist” backfires against Democrats. It energizes his supporters without providing any additional motivation to Democrats, and it drives soft partisans — voters who could be up for grabs in 2020 — into Trump’s arms.
This doesn’t mean letting Trump off the hook for being the racist he obviously is; I’ve been using the term for four years because it objectively describes him. But this means talking about his racism in a different way:
Say that he tears America apart by race and threatens our democracy.
Say that he pits Americans against each other by color and religion to distract from his cruelty.
Say that he enables and encourages white supremacists.
Democrats have a moral obligation to call out Trump's racist campaign. But they can't cry "racist" and assume that's the end of the argument.

Who cares?
GFY dana
He is NOT a racist. The worst racists are the people screaming about it all the time.
No, Dana, you ignorant slut : the racism charge is backfiring because honest people know it isn’t true.
Dana Milbank has had more sex with farm animals than Al Qaeda.
“I’ve been using the term for four years because it objectively describes him”
So you’ve been a complete twit for four years.
Still no proof of this racism, lots of words though.
Words amount to what they should actually be paying those who write this anxiety disorder addled garbage.
Sure Dana. Trump’s a racist, I’m a racist, you’re a racist, we’re all racist, everyone’s racist, racist, racist, racist, racist....
Make you feel better, Dana?
Another self hating Cracka’! :)
What an evil and disgusting jack@ss!!!
But I’m smiling because the Rats can’t help themselves, they’ll keep overplaying the race card, and they’ll keep blowing themselves up.
The schadenfreude is delicious!!!
The usual nonsense syndicated by the usual syndicater
Name one racist thing he ever did or said. Just one.
It reminds me of the charge that black voters were prevented from voting. Name one. One single person who was stopped from voting. They never do. Just repeat the baseless lie over and over again.
Same with the baseless lies about Trump.
There was a documentary that TDC/TLC/History (can't remember which) aired a few weeks after the attack. It was of Bush taking the time to visit victim's families and minister to them, but it was kept quiet with the only access being the documentarian & that film crew. I called the station so I could buy a copy, you know like they offer at the end of most documentaries? Well, of course this particular one....not available for sale..sorry. Only because it showed Bush in a favorable light.
With that said, I lost all respect for the man when he started bashing Trump all the while being silent while Obama bashed our Constitution. Sickening. Add into that, the freaking endless war in the ME. He had no exit strategy or victory strategy for that matter. I've come to despise him..but I am grateful that for a brief time, he did the right thing.

Speaking of racists, why has the DNC decided that it was time to “eradicate” Caucasians?
Dana Milbank is mentally defective. And I’ll not stop calling him that.
Dana’s still wetting himself daily.
Grow up Dana. Put your big boy pants on.
“Dana Milbank is a pedophile.”
A racist supremacist pedophile. Obviously, so no substantiation is necessary. But we shouldn’t say it. It’s counterproductive.
“It energizes his supporters without providing any additional motivation to Democrats, and it drives soft partisans — voters who could be up for grabs in 2020 — into Trump’s arms.”
Ok. I’m lost. What precisely is a “soft partisan” voter? Esplain Dana!
Follow your own advice Dana,. Just proclaiming that he is a racist in no way is the truth, you skank.
