The reason for his popularity is extremely clear. We've lived in a society that is so politically for so long now that Americans are willing to accept the complete opposite and elect his dumb ass into office; even if 92% of the shit he says is complete bullshit.

America doesn't like anything in moderation, everything has to be EXTREME.

That might be the case. I think that it also has to do with the perception that he's some rich, successful business man. Despite the fact that bankruptcies follow him like a plague.

Oh the man knows exactly how to sell himself to the American people. He's been bankrupting unions for decades, he knows how to play this system very well.

It's frightening watching his dumb ass speak.

For what it's worth, there are two Donald Trumps. One is the public blowhard, larger than life, ego maniac that grabs headlines which buys him attention on the cheap. Then there is the private (or semi-private) individual who is charming and quite likeable. He has an amazing talent for persuasion and changing minds and after people meet him, they often leave surprised to learn that he isn't what they thought he was. When he says that he has many Latino friends and that he will get their vote, it would be foolish to underestimate him. One reason the media and those willing to believe what the press, many of whom have not met him but only recycle stories, don't like him perhaps has to do with his lack of humility and his rough and tumble ways, but we are still early in the campaign cycle. He will evolve and people who still haven't made up their mind are likely to come around. Give him time and you will see.

What you say seems to be true. This blew me away - Penn Jillette coming out as a Trump fan. Ok, maybe not a fan, but certainly not a hater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nfLjbvvpC8
