[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump benefited mostly from a too-crowded Republican field and an undisciplined RNC unwilling to "cull the herd" until it was too late. The seventeen candidates allowed Trump to get a plurality of the crazy vote and, as more of them dropped out, a sort of Stockholm Syndrome took over as otherwise reasonable people convinced themselves he might be a good candidate. [/quote] I think this is it. Trump is "clever" in that he is feeding other people's fears and fantasies, as the other poster said. But a majority of Americans will not vote for him. I really believe Americans value basic decency. Looking at previous presidents, they may not have been perfect people, but none of them struck me as someone who would be cruel or mean to another person for no real reason. Trump's stomp-on-the-weak style of campaigning may be something he will try to put behind him, but I don't think it's going to work.[/quote]
