Is the problem with Trump or with Trump supporters? [View all]

He says he could stand in the middle of Times Square and shoot someone and his supporters would still be with him. Is that true?

It has become more obvious that Donald Trump is not going to change. Is it possible to change his supporters?

The Republican Party, through years of lying and deceit, have created a monster, over which they have no control. It appears that this monster is now in control of the Republican Party?

Is there anything that would turn them away from their support of Donald Trump? So far, we have seen nothing.
