Today the polls are showing that Donald Trump has a huge lead over the other GOP candidates — nearly double the numbers of the runner-up, Scott Walker.

The Donald Trump experience is revealing the deep racist and nativist roots of the conservative movement. The right wing voting base loves the mean-spirited xenophobic garbage on which Trump has based his campaign. Take a run around the right wing blogs and you’ll see thousands upon thousands of comments praising Trump and spewing vile racist hatred. It’s way beyond disgusting at this point; it’s disturbingly insane.

I’ve been writing about the rise of this right wing ugliness for years, and it’s obviously going to be one of the deciding factors in the next presidential election. Donald Trump’s popularity may wane, but nasty bigotry is now the face of the GOP — homophobic, racist, anti-women’s rights and fanatically religious to the point of advocating theocracy.
