On the subject of racism, anyone who answers "but the economy is good," is essentially saying that one can earn the right to be a racist. But again, that assumes that they actually mean what they say. I'd wager that the majority of his defenders don't care about racism, hardly at all, so the "but the economy" is really just a way of trying to brush it under the rug, not so that they don't see it, but hoping that you don't see it.
And, FWIW, the economy was fixed before he got into office. He's just riding the wave and hasn't fallen off.
I wait patiently for "anyone" to engage on matters other than the "economy". I can however appreciate their reluctance since the topic is a matter of the heart and not the pocketbook.
