Decent article in the NRO about Trump's status as an outsider candidate.

Quote:
Ignoring Trump’s appeal would be a mistake, because he points to real divisions in the party coalition. Republicans should address these divisions — simply defeating Trump’s candidacy would not necessarily heal them. Grass-roots frustration with the Republican establishment continues to percolate. Even among Republicans, approval of the congressional GOP is down to 23 percent, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll. Many in the base, fairly or not, view the party’s power structure as ineffective and operating upon values that the base does not share.

Sanders is doing the same thing with the Democrat's base.
