Ramesh, yes, how Pence handled that question from Blitzer, and a similar one today at a press conference, didn’t make much sense. It’s not as though he’s unwilling to denounce Duke — he says he denounces him and today called him “a bad man.” He just doesn’t want to use the word “deplorable,” evidently to avoid Clinton allies saying, “Look, even Mike Pence calls a Trump supporter deplorable!” But the answer you suggest wouldn’t have given the Clintonites any real fodder, would have avoided the unwelcome headlines — and would have had the additional advantage of being true.
