Keep seeing posts hoping some dirty laundry will arise that will end Trump. The "beauty" of Trump...

The "beauty" (of course sarcastically) of Trump, is that he's rather scandal proof. He never pretended to be anything than the crass ass hole that he is. He's down right proud of not having paid taxes in years. He has always been free and open about his sexism, misogyny and racism. He publicly mocked the disabled on the campaign trail. Not only does he wear most of this on his sleeve he down right campaigned on a lot of it. He's a crude and crass compulsive liar who doesn't even put any real effort into his lies. And when confronted with the truth almost always resorts to personal attacks. Even as president elect he has personally attacked individual citizens he simply dislikes. And yet people STILL voted for him. He might as well have just said, "Hay I'm an ass hole, a liar, and a con man, but you are going to vote for me anyway". And millions did.

Reminds me of a less brutal example of the slogan the infamous Charles Taylor ran on. "He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him"

After every display of his master's unfitness for office, Lord's response is "this is what the voters wanted," "this is what the people voted for," etc.
