Is it just me, or does Trump seem untouchable?

[Mr. Morden]

Ok so we have Trump's comments about immigrants, Trump's attacks on McCain, Trump-Graham incident, and the whole Ivana Trump accusations (although she said they were still friends and walked back on that).

He's also apparently disgusted by lawyers taking breaks to use a breast pump:

Even one of these events would have been enough to take down one of the 2011 flavors of the month.

Not in all cases.  It took quite a few sexual harrassment claims (not to mention a fair few stupid comments and senior moments) to take down Cain.

Well it wasn't so much that it was insufficient to take him down than it was that multiple claims were needed in order for them to be taken seriously.

Right.  But it's similar with Trump and the Ivana allegation.  If there were several more stories like that, Trump would be toast.

Not going to bother starting a brand new thread for this, but a Trump campaign staffer was just fired for making racist FB posts:
