It is rather amazing. The tradition is that any candidate who does anything even slightly imperfect or unusual that anyone can grab ahold of renders them unacceptable as president. Somehow acting like a stupid racist asshole all the time is cool though - points for consistency? there’s no one thing to grab hold of? it’s due to the implosion of celebrity culture and politics (so as long as you have a track record of being an entertaining buffoon, you’re cool)? the appeal of the racist demagoguery wins out?
