I am certain, Golem, that there are more conservatives against Trump than for him. Trump is a clown. He always has been. Not that I am a conservative, far from it, but Trump is destroying the "brand". He is exposing the ugly underbelly of the party for all to see. That, I think, is a service to all Americans, as he is stating -out loud- what the party has promoted with code words and euphemisms for decades. What the party apparatchiks don't like is that he has pulled back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz and shown the manipulation that is going on.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
