he is a self made man. He IS the American dream. He came from a small town with very little, worked his way through college and became rich. He married his college sweetheart, which has lasted for 30 years. He is a Hallmark movie. Face it, he is everything, every person has ever wanted, with just enough tragedy to make his life not a Disney movie.

And, to top it off, he is saying to everyone, if I can do it, so can you, and I'll help you get there. This is a powerful message. I think this is why he resonates with both repubs and dems alike.
