ABC set out to woo Trump voters, and to do that, they partnered with a star they had about 9 trillion reasons to know was a bonkers loose cannon. "Nazi Salute" plus "The Storm"--and that's week 1. They deserve every headache they get from this.

I think ABC calculated (correctly) that it could keep overt madness/offense out of Roseanne's show. But social media didn't exist when it last aired, and if ABC's planned stance is, "We find our own biggest star abhorrent but we love her comedy!"...you know, good luck with that.

2. Those headaches for ABC will include dealing with

her little Hitler-burnt-cookie imitation and her conspiracy theorist tweets going viral.

Woo Trump voters and the swamp comes with it.
