    I think “October Surprise” is normally when the opposition releases some info they were holding back on you.

    In this case they invited a bigot “comedian” up onto the stage all by themselves.

      I think that’s the reason the media is (correctly) latching on to this, they didn’t get a traditional October Surprise so it’s this or nothing.

      And to preempt the excuses: The Trump campaign vetted and adjusted his act, so they were okay with the joke, no matter what they try to say now.
