Andrew Card, Trump apologist on MSNBC: "Trump is not a racist, but he sounds like one..."

"...and his repeated pattern of comments appear racist, but I'd like to think he is not."

Not an exact quote, but he bent over backward trying to say Trump is wonderful, but maybe not really representative of the GOP, but he's a good guy and he's racist, but maybe he's not really racist. He looked like a pretzel by the end of the interview.

He's just so secretive about his virtuousness. Just too modest to show it.

Unfortunately, he's not so secretive about how much of a horribly evil nazi fake mob guy he is. That's probably where the admin's messaging problem comes into play.

Same old bullshit they said about Dubya. 'He's not a REAL Republican.'

Horseshit. Trump is the head of the Republican Party. He is what the Repub party has been moving towards for years.
