Schlongazi: A Sequel To Trump's "Blood Coming Out Of Her Wherever" Scandal

In case you missed it, Donald Trump is in a bit of trouble over his use of a certain word:
Two days after saying that Hillary Clinton got "schlonged" in her 2008 Democratic primary loss to Barack Obama, Trump tweeted that "once again" the mainstream media is being "dishonest. "'Schlonged' is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got 'schlonged' that meant beaten badly."
I thought this was pure genius on Trump's part. Not too long ago, Trump got in trouble for saying that Megyn Kelly was so mad at him that "blood was coming out of her . . . wherever." Of course, his numbers actually went up after that remark, so it didn't hurt him at all, in part because he was able to say that he did not mean that Kelly was menstruating but only that  she was bleeding from some other orifice.

The Schlongazi "Scandal" is very similar to the Bleeding-Gate "Scandal" in that Trump is able to say he wasn't actually referring to a Black man (Obama) raping a white woman (Hillary), but he was simply saying that it meant Obama beat Hillary badly in 2008.  This is dog-whistling at its absolute best.  The radicalized GOP base loved the comment because it was simultaneously racist and misogynist.

I can't believe I am saying this, but it looks like Trump might actually win the GOP nomination, which is exactly what the Democrats want to happen.
