Probably true, and I would find his comments awful on any of his largely white rallies. I still am inclined to believe Trump knowing to be in a predominantly white state added an incentive for him to go full horserace theory. But that matters little.

I could go into detail, but I think it's something that's being lost in translation. We both agree that Trump's track record is not good, and he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, but I don't really see this as anything other than a throwaway compliment from Trump to the crowd. He probably saw a hot chick in the audience and thought of the comment off the cuff.
Yeah I don't think that's what happened, but again, I don't know that as a fact and hence I have no issue with a different take. What I dislike and disliked is saying "my take is the correct one and yours is just twisting words" when I clearly did nothing of that sort.
