I disagree. Trump was probably the most vetted presidential candidate in modern history when he announced last year. His life has been under a microscope since about 1980 and just about every personal and professional detail about him has been printed in tabloids and other publications ad nauseam.
I believe that America has accepted the fact that Donald Trump is a bit of rogue and no altar boy. He's pretty much immune from such things as "bimbo eruptions" or "shady" business practices. He's Donald Trump!
Ironically the Democrats are going to get a taste of what Republicans went through during the 1990s when Bill Clinton was president and everything just bounced right off of him. Time and time again, we thought we had the dirt on Bill Clinton to bring him down and it never worked. When Clinton was caught lying about receiving oral sex from interns at the Oval Office, the Democrats just chuckled about it and essentially told us that "Bill's just being Bill, don't you just love him!" - and his polls went up accordingly.
More serious matters like Whitewater, Travelgate, etc. etc., all just got swept under the rug and anybody wanting to make an issue of it were lumped in with the "vast right-wing conspiracy."
Hopefully our guy (Trump) does not have the amoral and criminal inclinations of the Clintons but if the Left thinks they are going to defeat Trump over some silly sex scandal or questionable business transaction, they are in for a rude surprise. For better or for worse, the American people just don't care about those things anymore with regard to their president. That was established during the Bill Clinton presidency.
You’re right — the voters are voting for a person at least as much as they are voting for issues.
Donald Trump is the “karma” back to the Democrats to repay Bill Clinton :-)
Kasich will drop out before the days end because his role was to ensure that Cruz could not win in a contested convention. He never would have made it to a second round. I suspect that Trump made a deal with the party leaders right after Wisconsin. After all , he is a deal maker. They are a lot more afraid of the conservatives than Donald. They can,always deal with him..
You also have to realize that liberals and media (/never mind) became completely unhinged after Al Gore hanging chad challenge.
If you think those guys were partial to their guy before, last 15 years should prepare us for what’s coming.
