Another good article. The thing that confirms to me the irrational basis for Trump support - and that many of his supporters realize this deep down inside - is the virulence of their attacks on anyone who even questions their hero. Just look at the comments on this thread. As Goldberg pointed out, Trump supporters never really defend his ideas (partly because it’s a little hard to say what they are or if they even exist) but just attack the questioners - immediately, without answering any questions, but simply hurling insults.
Obama has stirred up a lot of anger and division in this country, and Trump, showman that he is, has found a way to ride it. His followers seethe with anger and have projected all their hopes for revenge onto him. Reason has nothing to do with it - a frightening thing in a democracy.

Democracy is mob rule. All democracies have failed. We are a REPUBLIC! “And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.”
I would say supporting another GOPe candidate is irrational....
