Yes. Trump is even on record saying he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose his supporters. 

The only thing that would maybe do it for him if that pee-pee tape actually ever leaked (no pun intended). 

Trump does things on a weekly basis that would sink many other politicans period. Every week he does something stupid. The Twitter stuff is just idiotic, he's hte president of the United States, having Twitter wars over TV ratings for the new Apprentice reality TV show and Saturday Night Live skits. It's a 9-year-old for president. 

Hillary throws tantrums when she gets upset. It has been reported by many people, not just on news, but people who have worked alongside her. That's pretty 9-year old if you ask me, but that's just how she is.

And I disagree. The whole Trump saying he could shoot someone on the street isn't even his own words. He was quoting an article. This is what he said: "And you know what they say about my people? The Polls. They say I have the most loyal people...did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Ave and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters. Ok. It's like Incredible." It wasn't like he said "I have the most loyal people that would do anything" and then followed it up with "I can get away with First Degree Murder and still retain my supporters." Had he said that, then you would be right and he would've pretty much insulted his own supporters.

If you showed me his words on policies and they were outrageous, then I would agree that he's loopy. If Hillary's campaign had just moved past trying to quote mine everything Trump said and taking his jokes to heart and focused on the important issues at hand, she would have became president.

This is actually pretty classic Trump, he'll attribute a quote or saying that he actually wants to say, but can double away from it but saying he was just quoting someone else. 

There's zero accountability for anything that comes out of his mouth. Other popular "Trump-isms" are the classic "something's going on", like he will claim something, be corrected or it will be shown to be false, then he will say "well I don't know about all that, but something is going on" or something to that effect. 

If he's wrong on something he'll just go quiet on it or try to hand wave it away rather than ever admitting he was wrong. 

For example he harrassed President Obama about the birth certificate conspiracies and loudly claimed he'd pay $5 million to any charity of Obama's choice if he produced his birth certificate. Well Obama produced the certificate, and wouldn't you know it ... Trump never paid a dime and quietly never mentioned the $5 million boast again. 

This is a man who isn't of very high moral character to begin with but he's adept at creating a character that can deflect, basically learned from his years in reality TV and wrestling cameos. It's fine to get upset, throw a tantrum whatever once in a while, adults do that. The way he conducts his general presidency with petty sniping on Twitter and all that is beneath the office, no president, even W. Bush was far more professional and dignified.
