As Trump continued to stick his foot in his mouth Rubio finally passed him to the point Trump's odds were double of Rubio's to win the nomination. Rubio was a strong favorite until the Rubio-bot short circuited in the debate. Rubio instantly sank down the leader board and Trump retook the lead.
After Rubio's misfire I kept watching the odds and polls. Every time Trump got a big negative press hit I would think "That one will drop him down" and I would check his polling numbers and odds and there would be no effect.
I just think he has people who will vote for him no matter what he does and the only other candidate with a strong following was Rubio.
As for him being bullet proof during the final election I think that was a case of who he was running against. I know plenty of democrats that can't stand Hillary Clinton, they probably stayed home or voted 3rd party.

Hillary vs Trump was the worst of worsts in terms of both psrties moral character. As to the thread topic that givea me anotger thought, that is pretty true for me.
When i voted for Trump it was 100% antiHC, strong support of his presumed SC justice choice(s), and anti-govt bureaucracy stance. I knew he came with stupid and even ignorant parts, but at the general election policy overrode idiocy, so i already heavily discounted that aspect of his presidency.
I also think the strident nature of both sides increases both sides unwillingbess to bend for the good of the country.
