my take-
we are very peeved OFF and Trump understands our frustration
He is not status quo - so he is like us-- non politician
he can afford to increase our wealth- because he is friends with BIG money - and will put some deal together for the people
he is anti non American types-- we know the legal immigrants just a few folks at the taco stand we can handle that
he is so open and truthful nobody really knows or talks about it-- HOW he got there.
he shines like GOLD- been watching him for years- hes a good guy and know how to hire and FIRE people he can handle congress
he doesn't ask for money-- thank you Lord!
he said he is a Christian
Trump can do no wrong
" What Trump is tapping into is the mindset of a zero sum game".
It's a cognitive issue that crosses political ideology.
I live in a solid Republican area and it seems most are a tad embarrassed Trump is running as a Republican. In contrast, many of the straight ticket Democrats I know, including my husband, love Trump even though they don't agree with everything he says.
POTUS has to be the most humbling job in the world.

Congress controls the purse strings.
I think most who apply for the job of POTUS think they can handle Congress.
In the end Congress handles the president. There are endless examples when the president's party votes against him. It's humbling.
I got to the point where it said 'we like people who say are problems have simple solutions even if they don't' and yeah, that's about right. It's exactly what makes Trump popular. People think that deporting every illegal immigrant will make everything better, which it won't even if his insanely ambitious deportation goals were met.
This is also why people like Bernie Sanders though. However, unlike Trump, Bernie's a bit more blunt and honest about what the problem is. Trump creates scapegoats, but when a scapegoat cannot be made, he essentially avoids the question or just says something insane then jokes about it later. Bernie however is more serious and honest about the issues, and actually offers a solution.
I did say A solution. Not THE solution. The thing I don't get is the conservatives who out right reject Bernie all together. Rather or not you agree with his solutions, he's correct about the problems. I'm willing to say the same is true for Trump, but to much less of an extent. I'm against illegal immigration too, but it's hardly a priority in my mind. But what Trump says is easier to grasp. Another thing to like about Bernie is that he talks about the issues as if you're intelligent. No other candidate does this.
I'm not a supporter thus far. After his comment about captured soldiers, I lost ALL respect for him. I understand John McCain disobeyed orders. However, if Trump takes issue with that, then he should have mentioned that in specific, not say "I like soldiers who weren't captured".
I will offer my analysis. Trump, in my opinion, is quite boorish and behaves like a petulant person. He even admits to whining until he gets what he wants. If we are to have a president who is going to actually lead this nation, then how can we expect leadership from someone who whines? Furthermore, this is how I see things. Words can sometimes translate to deeds. Anyone who might say boorish and uncalled for things could very well do stupid or even dangerous things.
And this is my analysis of those who support him. He isn't the type who thinks about what he says before he says it. He speaks and worries about the consequences later. Quite myopic if you ask me. It makes me consider that said supporters might be those who feel that the educated or the intellectuals cannot be trusted.

It sounds JUST LIKE O.
LOL - I was about to post the same thing, then saw your post!
Either way, not good. I find Trump's rise in the polls fascinating, but there's no way I could vote for the guy.

OH I know-- but what I posted is what people think-- NOT me
