Howdy back!

Yes, I liked his word choice of "intoxicating", too.

The thing that most intrigues me right now about Trump is that if you study his polls (all of them), you find that he appeals to almost all categories of voters in nearly the same percentages. Doesn't make much difference whether it be evangelicals, conservative Reps., moderate Reps., college educated or just high school educated. Same with income brackets. He pulls 25 to 30% in each category.

It seems that all these voters have something profound in common, and I'm trying to discern what the characteristics of that mindset are that makes him so appealing. For example, evangelicals know darn well that Trump is not a practicing Christian but at least a quarter of them say he's their candidate.

With that in mind, I'm guessing that (unless he blows up) Trump will start pulling Blacks, Latinos and Dems in greater numbers than have previously voted R.
