It’s also interesting that Trump seems to be characterized by more of a communitarian spirit than Cruz. That’s a major key to getting support, getting people to accept and believe that they are part of the game instead of virtually powerless spectators.

Communitarian is kept from dissolving into socialist by a God view. Trump pushes no distinct theology, but in some ways acts as though he does have a God view, and is very sanguine to the idea of a free Christian community.

Had to look up "communitarian" but I agree with the picture you drew - he realizes that community means something and rallies his own "neighborhood" as a base to expand from. Trump also doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve, but he appears to have a God-concept in his life.
