Winning the primary is the easy part for anyone in the GOP, there's a multitude of fears to prey on. He just picked the two easiest ones to get ahead. Certainly he was helped by the fractured field, if he had to do five one-on-one and another three with only three person debates like Hillary did, I think he does much worse (as we saw the other night) and we probably get a brokered convention or another opponent winning. That also can't be underscored, he only started getting over 40% consistently when he already secured a big delegate lead. His bombast and perceived "manliness" is what I guess makes him different, but his core came to him from the Mexican and Muslim stuff, and that's been there for years (curbing immigration).
