I think his 5th Avenue remark really drove home the existential truth about his base supporters. At least for me. The subsequent release of the Billy Bush tape drove home the duplicity and rank cowardice of the GOP in the face of Trump's base, and it also proved once again, the base's willingness to accept that for them Trump is not just above the law, but above any notion of common decency.  What happened in Charlotesville will be repeated and it will get uglier.  We have not just Trump's racist base to thank for that, but also white Christian pro lifers who put potential life above above any sense of the national common good.
