The point is that our-of-character scandals that surprise supporters matter more. In the case of Trump, his supporters aren’t terribly surprised by this, thus, it hurts him less politically. This is why Bill Clinton survived impeachment. Is this a foreign concept?

Replying to @mattklewis
I respect your view and your knowledge of the political situation. It is with reluctance that I disagree--not with the idea that Trumpers give him a lot of room to misbehave. I believe they are in denial, and once the circumstances intrude too much they will be in crisis.
