Of course only 10% of Dems agreed, they were behind it.

People complaining Trump wasn't strong enough in condemnations reminds me of "mourners" at North Korean President Kim Jong-Il's funeral who were condemned for not mourning and bewailing intensely enough.

I listened to what Trump said and I think he only meant that there were some people on both sides that had good intentions,I never considered it to be any type of endorcement of the white supremisists. Anybody else who thinks straight understands that, of course that leaves out most everyone on the left.
