BF,
depends on how you define "barely be dented", i guess. he's gone from 89% support among the GOP faithful following inauguration to 79% support today.
as reference, Nixon went from 91% GOP support at the start of Watergate in Feb 1973 to 73% support in May 1973 to 50% support by the time he resigned in Aug 1974.
basically, once you peel away the top layer of support, the bottom layer will not move...and that was in an era of much less partisanship. in this case, absent Trump literally shooting a veteran in the face, he will probably continue to keep 75% support.
there ARE no standards with Trump, not when it comes to morality and empathy. or even shame.
The only thing more depressing than this is the inevitability that he will not only be defended by his supporters, but that his popularity with GOP voters will barely be dented.
