"Usually things happen in the world and you go to work and you have your family and your friends and you do what you do. To this day, I feel like there's a cloud, a pall over the whole country, in a paranoid, surreal sort of way. It's got nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election; it has to do with the way one individual conducts himself, and that's embarrassing. It's dangerous to our institutions and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be. For this individual, he's in a game show. Everything that happens begins and ends with him, not our people or our country. Every time he talks about those things, it's a ruse. Disingenuous, cynical."
Imagine what would happen to the career of a coach who said the same thing about, say, President Barack Obama. Couldn't a coach argue that Obama's Iran deal gives the hateful ayatollahs a march toward the acquisition of a nuclear bomb? Couldn't a coach argue that Obama's insistence on releasing detainees from Guantanamo Bay means that a large number of the so-called "worst of the worst" will return to the battlefield, only to kill more Americans or American allies? Couldn't a coach in good faith believe that Obama's failure to use the term "radical Islam" emboldens our enemies and lulls us into a false sense of complacency?
Couldn't a coach argue that Obama, by invoking Ferguson in a United Nations speech and by saying "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," exacerbated racial tensions in America? As for Trump, it should be noted that he got a greater percentage of the black vote and Hispanic vote then did Mitt Romney in 2012, while getting a smaller percentage of the white vote.
