"Trump is winning because, astonishingly he is the most credible cndidate out of all of them."
Bednobs, you have a point. Part of the American dream is that they're all millionaires in waiting. One day they'll be just like Trump, so naturally he's the one that many can relate with.
He does have that anti-establishment fascist thing going for him. It's quite appealing for someone to turn up who just says things like "we'll just kill them all" and seems to have no regard for the current structure. While we all like the benefits the current structure of our societies provides us, these often fall into the background when we focus on the issues it presents.
Trump isn't a constitutional republican (if he is one at all) and as such seems free to talk big without saying much and some people accept that that is his "policy".
"You asked about "something", rather than "someone", which leaves me perplexed."
I missed this, sorry. I meant "something" in terms of policy platform.
