He has proved that it is possible for a Republican candidate to be successful without constantly trying to prove how religious he is. Despite his tenuous connection to Christianity, and his obvious disdain for the Religious Right, Trump has succeeded better than any of the pulpit thumpers, even the ones who are still in the race.

He’s appealing to the disaffected, who are disaffected without knowing precisely why they are. They don’t really know who to blame, and curiously, Trump has not made Obama specifically the scapegoat, but all politicians as a group.
