Why does he refuse to condemn them?

I'm not trying to convince you of that, but you can't convince me that Trump definitely meant nothing nefarious and that every other take but the most innocent one (he didn't know about the term's history or meaning and just made it up on the fly because he wanted to be nice) is word twisting. Calling the racehorse theory a dark, racially tainted term is not word twisting, it just describes reality.

This is Trump we're talking about. I don't view him as a particularly intelligent individual capable of giving nuanced comments, let alone nuanced thoughts. Trump literally was quoted in an interview saying that he's a good business man because his dad was a good business man as an example of racehorse theory. 

In any event, I don't know how you can look at his comments and think he's saying anything other than 'You guys are a good looking crowd" unless you have an agenda and the truth is not a part of that agenda.
