I'm a shrink. Here's what I think.

28. He certainly can understand american voters better than anyone else on tv.

The lunatic argument doesn't hold water with me: I think he's sane as rain: And that the really chilling part:

He knows what the majority of disenfranchised voters want to hear:
It's ok to resent those who are doing better, and it's ok to scapegoat anyone who's doing worse.

This is a mental perspective that relieves weaker people of their own responsibilities: Everything is someone else's fault. Only psychology explains this election.

That is exactly why they will tolerate all of the cognitive dissonances:
He's a womannizer but he's also christian.
He's pro-choice but he's a republican.
He lies about his taxes but he's a straight talker.
He defaults on all his loans but he's a brilliant businessman.
He'll defend their rights to guns but clearly doesn't know about the constitution.
