They are less successful, and they are well aware that intelligent people, like many DUers, are looking down on them. Nobody likes the feeling to be inferior and ridiculed. Everybody needs some respect and selfesteem. So when somebody emerges and tells them that they are even better than those elitist well-educated leftists, they are thrilled. And when this Pied Piper shows them that he is just as stupid as they are and nevertheless can be a very successful politician, and even a POTUS, he will get all their votes. Not because they liked the politics, which is beyond their capability to understand, anyway. But because that man or woman on the stage made the impression not be one of those elitist intellectuals who constantly say things they do not understand.
