Will his popularity translate into votes during crunch time, this is what I am questioning. Some of his popularity I assume is a given considering his TV persona. And yes, he is connecting with the racist element of his party which is hopefully a small portion of the GOP. So I believe this is entertainment based, say the bad boy candidate rather than substance based. While at it he is managing expose the bigotry and hypocrisy of the GOP. And some of his comments are legit while he offers no solutions.
Truth be told, just about every candidate is boring and a lightweight. next debate is probably going to be a tribute to RR than a serious policy discussion.
