A latent racist whose emotions are now set free on the back of the Trump movement doesn't simply walk his racism back because Trump walks things back. It's still there on the surface, and at this point it's society that has to address this, not Trump. He can even condemn it at this point. This particular segment of voters would still believe he's on their side and just has to play the game because the ultra-left has taken over everywhere to subvert the country's greatness or whatever.
HE might walk back. They don't.
Excellent point. Verbally walking it back means little after the fact.
David Duke has already noted that Trump must say what he has to say to get elected, meaning he cannot openly endorse racist groups, but will work towards their long term goals--like debrowning America under "non-racist" policies like deportation and Muslim bans. Thus the alt right will not feel betrayed when Trump reluctantly, eventually "denounces" them. They know he is still their guy.
