Related: About this forumTrump Orders Surrogates to Intensify Criticism of Judge and Journalists
During a Monday conference call with supporters, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee overruled a directive sent out by his own campaign.
An embattled Donald Trump urgently rallied his most visible supporters to defend his attacks on a federal judge's Mexican ancestry during a conference call on Monday in which he ordered them to question the judge's credibility and impugn reporters as racists.
"We will overcome," Trump said, according to two supporters who were on the call and requested anonymity to share their notes with Bloomberg Politics. "And Ive always won and Im going to continue to win. And thats the way it is."

OP
Calling reporters "racists" on air is really going to work out well for those surrogates.

I doubt they will do it for him unless they are newbies.
If you're a political pro you know you will still be in this business long after Trump has quit it like a bad vitamin company.

since he is doubling down on what by all means is an absolute disaster of a tactic, I'm not complaining much.
