Or think they do. They know he's arrogant and a blowhard and a womanizer and the like. That's on the label. So digging down you'd have to find something particularly shocking; otherwise people are going to just say "Yeah we know that already, but for some reason we still support him."

That's my theory at any rate.

Trump has made no effort to claim he was clean. The rest of the candidates have tried to make themselves seem to be cleaner than God.

In a weird way this makes Trump seem more honest.

I think he knows the Clinton have the goods on him

they will forgive him anything.

People are angry, broke and discouraged -- Trump just rides those emotions and steers them to blame immigration, the media, etc. Meanwhile net immigration with Mexico is an outflow, more leaving than coming in but Trump's "wall" just sounds good to people.

His bankruptcies keep coming up but the Trump lovers don't get it. They just see him as this rich successful guy and 'if he was bankrupt once or twice it just shows how resiliant he is.' Rand Paul still thinks that the bankruptcies are key to taking Trump off his perch:

Ted "Eyeliner" Cruz side steps the word "bankruptcy" but attacks on the same issue:



They HAVE talked also about 'how do you go bankrupt running a casino with the odds in favor of the house ??'

One thing I haven't seen yet is any focus on Trump's mob ties and that seems an obvious one. Trump talks like Joey Soprano, had casinos, did major construction projects in NYC in the 1980s... It's right there but the question again is whether the Trumpsters get it or would take it as a negative if they believed it.

There is absolutely no way his hands have been 100% clean in his business dealings.
