Can Trump bounce back from this scandal, or is he finished?

It has the potential of permanently changing the perception about Donald Trump as a person, at least for those who were sitting on the fence (e.g. people who originally voted for him as the "lesser of two evils" and have now become increasingly disappointed).

The perception the Charlottsville incident has potentially created is that Donald Trump doesn't really give a f**k about anything but himself. He didn't really care that this women died. What he cared about was not alienating neo-Nazis who may have voted for him in November. What he also cared about in his speeches on Saturday as well as yesterday was that the economy is strong and that he's entitled to be praised for it. "Screw that dead women, it's all about me" was the message he sended.

Like Katrina was to Bush, right?

I think the problem for anti-Trumpers is the fact that all the the people who hate Trump more and more, probably never voted for him in the first place.

Think about it, if you were that upset about the muslim ban or the transgendered ban, the odds that you ever voted for him in the first place are very very slim.

Honestly, several GOP senators called him out for it. Even ultra conservatives like Scott and Hatch. It suggests that he's getting a lot of flack from his own wing.

I don't think he's at fault here. James Fields was the one who got him into this mess. Trump could have easily swept the event under the rug had nobody died.
