Here’s the Real Reason Everybody Thought Trump Would Lose

[Nay]

70. A good description! They also like that he backhands women, too, and that his

wife/wives are gorgeous models and act like Stepford wives, put in their place by the head of the household who holds all the money. There are an unholy number of men out there who'd LOVE to be in Trump's place in order to pull off this little "lord of the manor" trick with the wife and kids. Read the MRA boards and just grok the anger there.

And you're right -- it doesn't matter what Trump says, really; it's the EMOTION he arouses in the base that has put Trump over the top. That's why he can get away with saying anything. It's the emotional connection that is crucial in his win. And I will say that Clinton will probably have a hell of a time beating him in the primary. The American public, through decades of slick advertising methods, have been taught to react viscerally and emotionally to products of every kind. A presidential candidate is no different.
