"Trump won't denounce white supremacy"  "Obama won't say Islamic terrorism"

So f'n what.  It's not a story.  

However,

I agree with you in the sense of if you have aspirations for the highest office in the land, you might just want to swallow your pride and do it to make the jackals satisfied.  

And you're pretty much spot on.

It's not hard to say they have a freedom to speak but I disagree with what they are saying.  It's really that simple.

The Islamic Terrorism thing was a good example.  Obama spoke out against terrorism but refused to say that Islam was a religion of terror so he was raked over the coals for not generalizing an entire religion vs speaking out against the specific events.
