In my mind, the most alarming thing about all of this is just what you are stating - the undying loyalty this guy continues to have among  so many of his supporters. Lying does not matter to them. Principles of law do not matter to them. Competence does not matter to them. Protecting the institutions of a free society do not matter to them. They want to believe in their political "savior" so badly, that even when confronted with the fact that this guy does not care one whit about the long term welfare of this country, only for his own self-serving interests, they continue to bow down and worship at his altar. 
Growing up and reading about 1930's Germany, I wondered why and how so many people living in a democracy could be taken in by such a power hungry political fraud. and whether it could happen here. I still don't know why so many people can, but I do have an answer as to whether it can happen here. 
Troubling to say the least.
