I'm surprised no one predicted this. The guy is 100% completely and totally playing to the right wringers and saying what he needs to convince them to vote for him. If he was running as a democrat, I guarantee we'd be hearing different things. And if he gets to the main election, it'll be the same.
This stuff is largely a PR move, or at least highly exaggerated for the sake of PR. And it's working well. The fact I think he exaggerates is probably why I don't hate him nearly as much as ATRL/others, since he's at least intelligent (you have to be to pull this off, unlike some of the other republican candidates) and I don't think he actually plans to go through with a lot of these incredibly... extreme notions. That's NOT to say I plan to vote for him, tho
But I genuinely think we could do far worse than Trump with a republican candidate (it's just that none of them stand a chance)
