The ABC News/Washington Post Poll (conducted March 3-6, 2016) is an interesting comparison of how the people view the candidates. [Use the " Campaign 2016" internal link]
Not a single one of the four main aspirants for their party's nomination for President was viewed by a majority as "honest and trustworthy" and none of them was viewed by a majority as someone who "understands people like me".
If Mr. Trump's supporters all start turning out wearing the same color shirts, then the country is REALLY in deep doo-doo.

Capt Tom Brown - Sir the one thing Trump has not had to do was answer for his claims or show how he plans on doing what he claims to be able to do. Trump can run this campaign as one large pep rally, but there will come a time where the BS will hit the wall and he'll have to give full descriptions of his ideas. The second he opens his mouth, no amount of rah rah will be able to save him. He's thriving on adversity and right now it's working for him. There is NO way without actually showing some substance he can win. Every other GOP candidate has some substance with their fluff. In fact more substance than fluff. It's been mentioned in the last debate how civil they were, but Trump was rather quiet. If this is true, then there is a chink in the armor no one is exploiting. Trump won't make it. I think it will be a contested convention that works great for the RNC, and they pick either Rubio or Kaesich. Trump runs separately taking votes from the GOP effectively handing the win to Hillary. My scenario isn't mine in honestly, it's been mentioned on various news outlets for both sides. The RNC is going to loose big this election cycle for President and in congress. Thanks Trump.

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Both major parties, all candidates
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - In the name of national security both major parties, present and past administrations
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - Both major parties all candidates, probably no election in history ever had a candidate that didn't have a enemy/scapegoat.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Not even close to the point of supremacy
5. Rampant Sexism - Both major parties, more like latent than rampant.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Certainly not the Republicans, and bias does not constitute control for the Democrats
7. Obsession with National Security - Redundant with number 3.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Nope, not even sure what Mr. Trump's religion is.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - Both major parties. It is their donor base. They will never really do anything about it.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Giving people the option to associate or not associate with a union does not constitute suppression11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Nope
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Nope
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Both major parties, present and past administrations probably all the way back to George Washington.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Nope
If you want a more detailed argument pick one. I've made it clear I don't support Trump. But verbal Molotov cocktails don't further the conversation. They entrench people. I am more interested in persuading a Trump supporter than insulting him.
