There's an old saying that "to catch a fish, you need to think like a fish." And there's a modern translation of that for today's GOP: To beat a Donald, you need to think like a Trumpvoter.

We don't know if Mr. Trump is unstoppable, because nobody has actually gone after him. To the extent his Republican rivals have nipped at his heels, they've done it in obvious, conventional ways. They've argued he's not a real conservative. They've pointed to his lack of policies. They've worried about his temperament and electability. Those arguments probably do resonate with the 50% or 60% of the primary electorate who--obviously and conventionally--care about principles, and winning.

But those arguments don't speak to Trump supporters. The Nevada entrance polls show the billionaire won voters who are angry with the federal government, who want an "outsider" in the office and who want "change." They don't care about policies. They want someone to "stick it to the man."

I’m not saying that she’s lesbian, I’m just saying that would explain her opposition to Trump.
