How does he get away with lies, gaffes and saying horrible things about guys like John mccain? Easy. His voters are deplorable.
Wait a minute. You criticize Trump for name calling and in the same line, insult all his supporters?
Can you name me one President that never lied, never had gaffes, never said anything negative about another person?
They all lie at one point or another. It's not how many lies or what kind of lies that are important. It's what the lies are that counts. Trump not releasing his tax returns didn't cost us a trillion dollars and make millions of Americans lives miserable. When Trump made a statement about McCain's service to our country, he was castigated by both sides. But that didn't make Republicans turn into Democrats no more than Bill Clinton's perjury charge turned any Democrat into a Republican. In fact, there was overwhelming support for the guy by the left.
