Maddow: Donald Trump Is ‘Gaffe-Proof,’ Nothing He Says Matters

Rachel Maddow came to the conclusion tonight that Donald Trump‘s campaign will not suddenly collapse because he is “gaffe-proof.”

In speaking with Dan Rather tonight, Maddow said that normally someone who said what Trump did about John McCain would be dead in the water, but “if you can increase your chances after something like that, it seems to me that there’s no way he can damage himself by sticking his foot in his mouth.”

Rather agreed that Trump isn’t on the verge of collapse, reiterating what he said earlier this week about how Trump is a very smart and shrewd person who didn’t get to where he is by phoning it in.
