Donald Trump is Sarah Palin........on steroids!

The GOP used to be able to block such extremist "base" candidates from being nominated but with so many people running this year plus Trump's money and wide (enough) appeal (from Sarah Palin "Tea Party" types), the "base" has finally got the GOP candidate they always wanted. The scary thing is that, with some media support and all of the incessant Hillary bashing from both the right and the left, Trump actually stands some chance of winning in November.
