I do understand the appeal of many Republicans, but their pres. candidates are just confusing to me.

The public response to people like GB2 and Trump is beyond me.
If I can attempt to explain, it may be rooted in that these people don't like the government and elitists that much, so they enjoy a candidate who marginalizes both.

There are two kinds of voters: those who want to be left alone and those who don't want to leave others alone. Most people fall into a mix of both.
