2. He's dangerous and they love him

Nov 2015

This is a good article about one of his rallies-

He starts the thing by telling the audience to turn around an look at the media, so they all turn around and boo. Ejected protesters get spit on and told that if they weren't filming they'd be slapped. He tells the fans his rallies are the most exciting because that happens.

He re-uses all of rhetoric that has been so thoroughly castigated. It's a real hate fest.

And they LOVE him.
