Is it just me, or does Trump seem untouchable?

For better or worse, Donald Trump entered the race as a known quantity. Any one of the scandals listed may have brought down another candidate because most candidates aren't household names the way Trump is.

His comments about McCain didn't hurt him for several reasons, among them is the fact that the public generally expects a guy who has captured headlines by making provocative statements to, well, make provocative statements. The Ivanka Trump scandal? He has been a controversial figure for so long that this should've been a bigger deal years ago. Because it's only now a headline, this look like a calculated political move to derail his campaign.

Trump isn't a politician. Not really, at least. So the normal rules that apply to most candidates don't apply to him.
