Charlie is sounding desperate… I think he’s already acknowledged the inevitable, at least on a subliminal level.
You can’t stop people from supporting your candidacy. Palin also endorsed Trump, and he knew enough to banish her back to Alaska. He’s not embracing Duke’s support either. It would be a problem if he wasn’t trying to distance himself from such a demagogue.
Contrast that to all the wackos who come out of the woodwork to support Democratic candidates every time…. the likes of Sharpton, Farrakhan, and in Obama’s case Jeremiah Wright. And they do little to distance themselves from those racist demagogues.
