It is not that Trump is about to be elected president -- it is about the people who will elect him.
I began by thinking Trump's critics in the media live in a bubble -- you know the usual stereotype of Pauline Kael covering politics.But as Trump rose and nears the nomination, that mask fell. Never Trump is not about him. It is about us, his supporters. Kevin Williamson of the National Review pleasured his bosses at the National Review by writing, in his "Father Fuhrer" piece last month, that rural towns that white people live in deserve to die. He is from Amarillo, so he can get away with this, right? Don Surber: It is the Trumpkins they fear

If it were not for the multi-millions of ordinary Americans supporting him, Trump would be nothing. So the attacks are really against what most Americans want.
OTOH, Hillary has a few hundred über-rich hangers-on, who will call in their markers if she's elected. But none of them represent ordinary Americans.

I can't imagine any other candidate stepping up to the plate like that.
