Admitting fault and apologizing for such is a strength in a person imho but like you articulated doesn't happen with him.
Yeah, I agree almost all politicians do this. They evade admitting mistakes if they think it comes with a political backlash. It's part of the reason I have such a jaded view of politics.

Trump seems to be taking it to a new level to me because of just how brazen he is with it. It's kind of astounding to me.

If he were to be in line for the nomination his braziness may be part of the reason he potentially doesn't get nominated. I call it as it is in my view.

This election process will be interesting with "fun" things to debate before it all ends.

What gets me is that few people are calling for an apology from him.

A handful of black pastors will endorse him and that will be enough for him to say "See, I was telling the truth" and that will be the end of that. Someone will start a post vindicating him as if that means he wasn't lying before. LOL. The waters have been muddied just enough for few to demand anything from him. He has this routine down pat.

It is what it is.

I know Trump is showing himself to be slimy. However, it's his supporters I am more worried about. As long as he doesn't win the nomination, I am not worried.

Not many people have a landline today, to poll accurately by phone. (polling is done via landline telephone)
The vast majority of polls did NOT have Mitt Romney as President. Polls generally had Obama winning re-election. The folks at FOX News and other R/W sources (including many many folks on this board) simply chose to IGNORE those polls with claims that "they are undersampling Republicans". How'd that work out?
The fact is, while individuals polls don't mean much, taken as a whole - and over the long run - the polls have proven to be very accurate nearly all the time. There have been a few exceptions but not many.

Here's the poll history of the 2012 Presidential race. Romney won a few polls here and there, but the majority of of polls show'd Obama winning, which he did.

But you just said you're worried about his supporters?
Focus on policy and truth. That's what matters.
