Is Donald Trump the New Face of the Republican Party?

You may recall Donald Trump’s 2011 tirade questioning President Obama’s citizenship, the endless claims that he had a team of investigators who had found some “interesting” information concerning his birth certificate. You may also recall that at the end of the day Trump could not back up any of his claims with even one piece of evidence or produce the investigators he claimed to have hired. Despite the fact that it was obvious that he was lying and the entire world knew it he continued to make the outlandish claims and never once admitted that they were false. Trump simply repeated the story  until people stopped asking and forgot about it. Trump went even further by questioning President Obama’s education at Columbia and Harvard saying:

"I heard he was a terrible student, terrible,"

And:

"How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records,"

Once again he had “heard” this from a nameless, faceless somebody who he could not identify nor could he produce any supporting evidence of his claims. Of course, we are all familiar with his recent controversial comments regarding Hispanic immigrants living in the U.S., his outlandish and once again unsupported claims that they are drug smugglers, criminals and rapist. Today on twitter he took that even further when he capitalized on the tragic shooting death of Kathryn Steinle using her to further his own political agenda. He completely ignored the fact that countless murders were committed by god ole home grown, born in the U.S.A citizens and that the majority of immigrants are hard-working, law abiding people who never have an encounter with law enforcement.This is only the most round of Trumpism (he says it's not racism so ...), he has been on a tirade against Hispanic immigrants for quite a while now.

So far his campaign seems to be just more of the same, a lot of wild accusations about what he can an will do and absolutely no explanation of how he will do it: how does one make Mexico pay for the great wall of America, hmmm.

When it comes to Donald Trump the only thing that does seem to be supported by the evidence is that he will lie to all of us abut anything and he will continue to lie even when we know he is lying (if he repeats it enough it must be true, right?). He will attack any group of people and cast them all into the same mold despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He has never socialized with anyone outside of his own social economic status, if he had he would know how misguided he is. Mr. Trump has never had to apply for a job or truly work for anything, he has never had to worry about insurance or how he would pay the bills but yet he will attack those who do.

So, the question is if he doesn't represent the views and opinions of a large number of republicans how can he be polling so well?
