IMHO the demonization of Trump was allowed to progress far beyond what it should have been.
Spokesmen needed to squelch the piss out that from the outset. "Listen, this man was famous and on TV for 30 years. Nobody ever once whispered a single breath about him being racist, because he isn't. NOW you're acting like he's suddenly hitler, just because he ran for office? THat's like saying "Don't elect him, he's ugly." It's just a mean-spirited hateful attack without any merit.
And keep showing the goddamn photos of him in the warm embrace of blacks both famous and regular, driving the fake accusation from consciousness. Just keep at it and never let up.
"He was on Letterman over and over, Rona Barrett, Oprah--you really think Oprah can't tell a diehard racist when she talks to one? You gonna insult Oprah like that?? Come off it. Just say you don't like him because you can't buy, bribe, browbeat, or blackmail this man.You can't own him, so you defame him. Easy to see through."
Just like Fauxbama got right out in front of the (fake) race thing. "THEY'RE GONNA SAY HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE OTHER PRESIDENTS ON THE MONEY! HE'S TOO DARK!!" No, you fucking liar, nobody said that. But boy was it effective.

It is shocking how quickly everyone turned on him after a lifetime being surrounded by them.
Imagine that level of betrayal, how heavy that would weigh on you. I know that I would feel pretty devastated, I don't even know that I can imagine.
