re: #103 EPR-radar

What Trump’s candidacy shows is that a significant fraction of the GOP base really do believe all the lies of Fox News et al. The good news is that these people don’t have any particular attachment to GOP orthodoxy. The bad news is that these people have been turned into haters looking for targets.

Trump paid attention to the Tea Party when they said that they had no party affiliation; they tended towards GOP candidates who supported issues dear to them like lower taxes and less government but were perfectly prepared to turn on the GOP if they were found to be lacking in TP ideals.
