One look into the moral valuations and psychology going on in the minds of Trump supporters that explains why things like "look at my African American" lead to no measurable loss of support. Detailed exploration of the phenomenon begins down under "the long story".

Quote:
The political view from the Far Right Sea is a dismal one, then, largely bereft of hope and thoroughly haunted by carefully constructed specters and ghouls about immigrants, refugees, the Democrats, and especially Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (not to mention Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid). Knowing little more in truth about those people except that they are evil, the GOP of the last decade has kept conservatives rowing ever further right without any heed to the consequences. Just a little farther right now. We'll shut down the government; then Obama will fall. That's when we'll see the promised land, you'll see. What? You can't see it? It's not there (now)? Thanks, Obama.
The result is that a considerable proportion of American conservatives, acting as a moral tribe, have in common nothing more powerfully than a well-groomed hatred of outsiders, whom they see as likely to destroy the fabric of America, and "liberal Democrats," whom they rarely can tell apart from "socialist-communist-Marxists" and "tyrants."
