Plus, he’s discredited all elitist “conservative” ideologues and their tiresome, failed ideology.

Overall, Trump is a wedge widening the broken Bush coalition of billionaires, evangelicals and irate white workers. Why, top Repugs are almost as distressed as the frustrated blue collar mobs cheering the new Trump towers.
