Trump has no one base of support. He gets conservatives, moderates, liberals, evangelicals. He gets people fed up with politics as usual. He got more “very conservative” votes in NH than Cruz did and more evangelicals than Cruz did. He’ll do the same in SC. He’s been leading there in the polls for months.
The reverence that Trump supporters have for this candidate borders on the cultish. You disagree with them and they want to saw your head off yet Trump expresses himself in platitudes and slogans like a polished politician. Because he appeals to everyone, he believes in nothing but himself. I am reminded by Matthew 7.15. and Trump is the wolf.
