Donald Trump Is an Interesting Case in American Politics

Trump is an example of how in the current era of politics under the current nominating rules a candidate does not need to have any ties to party leaders or represent a consensus within a party. He has was very unpopular with lots of people in the Republican party but he was very very popular with the people who did like him and so they supported him. The world's upside down the political world is upside down and you have Donald Trump who is sort of this mad hatter of American politics.
