i understood why a republican primary crowd would vote for him...or mister cruz....
cruz is the establishment anti-establishment guy and reagan reincarnated without adapting to the fact that 30 years have gone....and reagan was in fast a politican able to compromise if necessary.
and trump is just the proof, that it was ludicrous to start with, thinking that the army of blue-collar social conservative voters who are now the pillar of the republican party would ...if they have the choice....vote for ideological, ivory-tower, purity over a bone-fida-economic populist telling them they got screwed by his own class.
this part has happened all over europe too and is new to no one...the problem is that the USA could theoretically easily out-balance white blue-collar grief, if millenials and educated people and minorities would react to trump in the way one would think they would react.
but seemingly...insulting someone is more a boon for those who would love to insult others than a mean of motivation of those who got insulted.
The educated very much adore Trump too. So long as they are white and male, they worship him.
