Why Trumps Tactics/Antics Have Worked So Far

5 Reasons It’s So Easy For Trump To Make Republicans Look Like Fools from National Memo
"So how did a guy who has never won one vote as a Republican stomp on the longest-serving governor of one of the most important states in the union? Easily. And he’s doing the same thing to Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, and Bobby Jindal. Why is Trump so successful in drawing his opponents into battles they can’t win? He riffs on a Republican Party that is ripe for contemptible comedy, ridiculous rhetoric, and daring demagoguery.  Here are five reasons why Trump’s tactics work so well: ...  In this crowd, a guy who says the biggest problem with the Iraq War is that we didn’t take all the oil sounds reasonable. GOP leaders promised their base that if they took over Congress, all their dreams would come true. Now the base is mad at those leaders because Obamacare hasn’t been repealed, Planned Parenthood is still funded, and the president’s executive action on immigration is still in effect. They prefer the lies to reality. And whoever is lying loudest will get their vote."
