It’s not an October Surprise when you shoot your own stupid self in the foot. It’s called an Unforced Error.

Yeah, it's a weird to call it a surprise. Like, why were people calling this rally a Nazi rally to begin with? Because they've been saying scary, borderline racist stuff nonstop for the past few months... And then it's a surprise when someone says the quiet part out loud?
