Call me biased...I likely very much am. But having lived down here for nearly 7 years now in a highly conservative area I would say, yes, many people feel very much like outsiders as the country does become more liberal.

That said, a good chunk of those people are quite frankly wrong in their opinions and they SHOULD be outsiders. These are the ones that have grabbed onto Trump. Not saying they shouldn't have the right to have a voice but I shudder to think what will happen if they truly get into power. Tying up congress and the senate is one thing. Power is quite another.

That said I think the Trump train is losing steam. He's only just realized what any other candidate has known for years...you need to organize. He just very recently hired someone to lead up a strategy to get the delegate votes.

The good news is I think he loses the nomination. The bad news is that Cruz will win it and he's not much better. In fact I think he might be worse on an actual policy level (he has them for one thing). Even if he's more professional this is not a guy anyone who isn't a very right wing, white, evangelical christian should want nominating justices.
