It sounds completely insincere, but, hey, he said it!
I await white supremacist meltdowns, which I pray occur.

Doubt it. They'll just figure he's throwing the liberal media a bone. Like that article said he's already made his position clear.

Trump did the absolute minimum there, and not one word more. Pathetic, but not surprising
Nazi's know they have to be thrown under the bus. The fact that it took this long is still a victory for them. Now they can parrot about what problem there is now that he's condemned them.

Morning joe crew saw this coming, said anything he says 3 days after the fact means nothing.

So how many "He just became President" bullshit statements are we gonna have to call bullshit on today? My guess is at least 5 between MSNBC and CNN alone.

Yeap. I remember the whole David duke situation from a year ago with his weird moment during the Tapper interview where he pretended like he didn't know who he was, only to prepare a statement condemning him a few days later just like this. And Duke just said about it "I fully support trump. I know he's gotta say that but I support Trump saying whatever he has to say to get in office. I know he backs us". Or something to that effect

I'm going with none. I think there will be many "Better later than never, but..."

"He just became President, 48 hours after he gave white supremacists a pass" will get mocked endlessly (and well it should). People who says this kind of bullshit do at their own peril. Maaaaaaaybe if he'd sad something extraordinarily strong on Saturday he might have gotten actual credit for it. Him saying it now is a technicality.
Immediate impressions seem to be that this is too little, too late.
Sen. Warner already said "I think he was very Presidential" in response to Trump's statement

He also said this: "I wish he would have said those same words on Saturday...I'm disappointed it took him a couple of days." This is exactly the type of thing I think you will hear a lot of
If he had said it days ago, then yeah probably. Now I think he's too late to win even that kind of praise.

Tapper said Trump insisted on putting the economic statements at the beginning of his remarks
Hahahaha.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Fox News knows exactly what it's doing.
This is sarcastic right?

Of course he did. I bet it was the only way he'd agree to do it. Let him start off babbling about how awesome he is and how he's doing such an amazing job MAGA-ing and then have him swallow the bitter pill three days late.

Gallup at 34/61. Christ.

Is that up or down? I didn't see the Gallup poll from last week.
That's a new low.

Sessions' brand of racism is a utopia where minorities know their place and happily serve as an underclass. He wants to put the bad ones in jail and have the good ones cheerfully clean his bathroom. He's on that Zipadee Do Da, Song of the South shit.
He sees blatantly violent nazis as an irritation, a hinderance to his own goals. They don't have a place on his harmonious, happy plantation.

I think that's a new low
I agree with that. I thought he would hold out and never condemn white supremacy.

So in other words, people will make their push to force Bannon out, it will fail, and Trump will keep him "a long time"

Shot right past 35!
Previous low was 35 for one day on the gallup daily tracker. (Rolling 3 day average)

A new low for approval and new high for disapproval.

Wasn't one of the recent polls at 32% approval? I can't remember if that was Gallup or not though.
But yeah, I bet the events of this weekend are going to add yet another dent in Trump's approval ratings across the polls that are coming.

It had a similar tone and feel to his pussy apology.
Does this take the weekend into account?
I think that was Quinnipiac maybe?
StopMakingSense

This is an all time low on the gallup tracker. 32 was Quinnipac, I believe.

It's an average of the 3 previous days when it updates at 1pm Eastern. So yes. Includes through Sunday.
A 2 point drop on a stable number for the past few days means Sunday was terrible for him.

Ah! Yeah, that sounds right to me. So yeah, 34% being the new low for Gallup's polls is definitely a big deal then.
I'm guessing feelings of shame are starting to take root in some folks
Not quite there, but Issa's opponent Doug Applegate had an amazing statement on his facebook page over the weekend in response to the story of the kid who tried to whiteboy his way out of being labelled a Nazi:

is 34/61 approval bad
This morning at a senior center event Bernie said we should make "Medicare available to all."
This is probably a subtle shift from Bernie and reflects the discussions we've had about how "Medicare for all" is a very general policy. "Available" is a coded word that suggests something that looks more like an Obamacare public option.
This seems fine to me, and it's quite notable that as Democratic political support is gathering Bernie's moving towards a policy that has higher odds of getting the votes to be implemented. Good on him. Hopefully this means good things for the bill when it gets introduced.
