I've heard The Don say on TV to rapturous applause- "Whether we're black, white or brown, we all bleed the same red blood", that don't sound racist to me..
Yeah, and I heard him say on the TV that Mexico's gonna pay for the wall he wants to erect.
As for what legal issues he's had, here's one. Pretty sure there are others out there.

I'm not surprised at all. This is a man whose political life is premised upon identifying and vilifying the outgroup.

I think that double-standard says something about what they prefer to overlook and what they prefer to focus on. In this case, they clearly chose to overlook Trump's bigotry in favor of focusing on oft-debunked bullshit.
That, too speaks to their acceptance of bigotry. They would believe Pizzagate but disregard "Mexicans are rapists", "ban all Muslims", and so on.
It wasn't just Bengazi. It was her support of abortion including late term. I know at least a few people who voted for Trump for that reason.
I didn't mention Benghazi at all. If they are so disturbed by a vanishingly small percentage of abortions that they'd overlook the man's blatant bigotry in order to vote for him, I'd say that they find his bigotry more acceptable. Their concern about a fetus' right-to-life is apparently weightier than their concern about equal rights for Americans already at adulthood.
You can paint it how you wish; but the fact is that either Trump voters decided that his bigotry was acceptable if it got them what they wanted, they were bigots themselves, or they simply did not notice his bigotry. None of that changes the fact that they voted for a bigot.
