In the past three weeks, Donald Trump has faced accusations of racism for saying that the judge in his Trump University case was biased because of his heritage. He sparked outrage after posting a self-congratulatory tweet after the deadliest mass shooting in American history. He took away The Washington Post's press credentials, suggested that Barack Obama was sympathetic to terrorists and said that Republican leadership should "be quiet" and let him win the presidency "by himself."
Trump is losing by 8 points according to the New York Times national polling average. On Monday, he fired his campaign manager.
But West Virginia delegates to the Republican National Convention - the people who actually get to vote to make Trump the Republican nominee - are, for the most part, unfazed.
Trump won West Virginia's GOP primary handily in May, with 77 percent of the vote.
"I'm just as enthusiastic as I was, or maybe more so," said Diana Bartley, a delegate to the national convention from Harrison County.
Bartley said she thought that Trump's comments after the Orlando shooting, in which he renewed calls for a ban on all Muslims immigrating to America, were the strong attitude on terrorism that she was looking for.
"I look forward to someone being president who is strong on that," Bartley said.
Barry Bledsoe, a delegate from Monongalia County, is also still aboard the Trump train.
"I'm still just as confident as ever that Trump is what we need in Washington," he said.
Bledsoe said she thinks that some of the issues that Trump is facing now are just sour grapes.
"I think he's got the issue now with some people who weren't happy that their candidate lost," Bledsoe said.
Last week, two delegates in Arizona resigned their positions saying that they refused to go to Cleveland to vote for Donald Trump.
There was also talk of a movement by some Republican convention delegates to block Trump's nomination through unbinding all of the delegates at the convention.
While this scenario is unlikely to happen - around 14 million Republicans did vote for Trump and it would require major rule changes at the convention - Bartley is running to be put on a committee at the national convention to help make sure that it doesn't.
The delegates to the national convention will meet in Charleston this week, prior to the Republican state convention this weekend, to assign delegates to the four committees at the national convention: rules committee, platform committee, credentials committee and permanent organization committee.
Mike Stuart, a delegate to the convention and co-chairman of Trump's West Virginia campaign, said that any effort to stop a Trump nomination would be a wasted effort and damaging to the nominee.
"I think the past three weeks have shown me that this is not just a Democrat problem in Washington," Stuart said. "It's a Democrat and Republican problem."
But underneath the movement to stop Trump is the reality that not everyone in the Republican Party is happy with Trump right now.
One West Virginia delegate to the national convention, who asked not to be named because he was afraid of how the party might take his comments, said that he would be voting for Trump on the first ballot, but if it went beyond that, he wasn't sure.
"There's been a lot of crazy things that have happened," the delegate said.
He said that he didn't like Trump's suggestions of banning Muslims or building a wall between the United States and Mexico.
"I just don't know what to think," he said.
Delegate Ron Walters, R-Kanawha, who is a delegate in the House of Delegates and for the National Convention, said that uncertainty happens during campaigns.
"Polls are going to change between now and November," Walters said. "Really I think there's a large number of undecideds out there that will start to focus in November."
But Trump is doing poorly with independents of late. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 68 percent of independents had an unfavorable view of Trump, while 63 percent had an unfavorable view of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Walters said that he's waiting to see what the polls look like after the conventions, when candidates usually see a bump following their respective formal nominations.
"I'll be interested to see what the bump in the polls will look like," Walters said.
Delegate Ray Canterbury, R-Greenbrier, compared supporting a presidential candidate to buying stock.
"You expect it to go up," said Canterbury, a delegate to the Cleveland convention, but added that sometimes it rises and falls.
Walters said that he still likes Trump for the same reasons that he liked him in February.
"He's a guy that likes to make a deal," Walters said. "He's been at it a long time and he's made a lot of favorable deals."
He also likes Trump for the same thing that has gotten the presidential candidate in trouble lately - his mouth.
"That's what excites me about him," Walters said. "He's a typical plain-talking New Yorker, just like a typical plain-talking West Virginian. And that gets you in trouble sometimes."
Even Katrina Lewis, West Virginia's sole delegate pledged to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, said that she's not ready to give up on Trump yet.
"Hold tight," Lewis said. "The American people, the Republicans have voted for him. I think we still have a lot of time and I think people will stay with Trump."
