Trump is winning because people respect him more than they respect status quo politics and politicians.
It’s pretty simple.
Anyone who can include Ted Cruz under the category of ‘status quo’ politician simply hasn’t been paying attention to his constant battles against precisely that in the senate.
So.we have to go from status quo to a crook?

...though the basis for that "respect" seems to have nothing to do with actual respectability, or integrity, or morality. What you say certainly says a lot about the lack of wisdom of the electorate, yes... but I don't see how that digs Trump out of the moral hole into which he's dug himself.
Is anyone going to address the substance of the article? Plenty of FR threads have been exercises in "swerving around the point on two wheels" and replacing the point with some sort of "You-Rah-Rah!" cheer for their guy (who became their guy after playing well to the audience). Not very logical, not very relevant, and not very intellectually honest, IMHO.
As you seem unable to read, pay attention and grasp the truth, I certainly understand why you would support Donald "P.T. Barnum" Trump!
