Trump is gaining traction for two reasons:
-He is willing to go out and say confrontational things that many people are thinking, while the mainline GOP pulls their punches and cowers in the corner.
-He is overtly Populist, and for various reasons our electorate is 110% primed for an outbreak of Populism right now.

BINGO!
You just nailed it FRiend.....On all counts.
Trump is Perot with a TV show...heavy on fiscal, dismissive of social issues...as an independent, I’ll wager he could pull around 20%...magritte
