On a number of policy points he's not a conservative Republican! He's actually pretty Liberal, but otherwise a bomb thrower. I don't think the ultra-conservatives who know their ass from a hole in the ground support him. It's more the ultra-ignorant, the KKK, the Tea Party Patriots, etc. All the haters who have been asked into The Big Tent in recent years.

Well, that's what you get for inviting those people into your Party: Sooner or later, they tear your Party apart and you lose. lose, lose.
