@Bix As I and others have repeatedly pointed out, his fans don't care about his faults. They see him as their champion - literally, their Messiah. They see themselves in him. He's out of them in a suit. He shares their prejudices; their distrust of outsiders, MSM and "liberal elites;" and their lust for absolute, unbridled power. He speaks directly to them in language they can easily understand. His enemies are their enemies. Thus, Deplorables see attacks on him as attacks on them. They are his.
