      1. Trump's unwillingness to forthrightly condemn white nationalist terrorism as such isolates him even from far right of GOP. So why do it?https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/status/896543609440407553 …

      2. There's a bunch of plausible reasons why Trump won't condemn white nationalism, starting with personal belief in that ideology.

      3. But I think the best way to think about Trump & white nationalist is in terms of political necessity: he thinks he needs them.

      4. Number of Nazis in USA not large but Trump needs them. Trump won with a minority of votes, spread as thin as possible.

      5. He needs to hold on to every vote he has. Even if he doesn't run again, he needs GOP based riled up to protect against impeachment.

      6. Politically Trump has been super-focused since election on servicing the base, especially on ethnonationalism stuff.

      7. The GOP base is Trump's life boat & the Nazis, are the most passionate part of that base. Trump doesn't think he can afford to lose them

      8. This all ties in with Trump's reliance on Bannon/Mercer network. On some level, he seems to credit them with making him president.

          9. Trump has kept Bannon on for a long time, despite political costs. He might yet abandon him but he's reluctant to do so.
