Left using Trump to win over moderate voters and paint the entire GOP as racists. Disgusting and yes, it was predictable.
Krugman: GOP base loves Trump because he is loudmouthed, belligerent racist just like they are.http://www.salon.com/2015/07/14/paul_krugman_throws_down_gop_base_loves_trump_because_hes_a_belligerent_loudmouthed_racist_just_like_them/snip:
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman appeared on Bloomberg Television Monday to discuss the appeal of Donald Trump to Republicans, and the Princeton economist pulled no punches.
“He’s a belligerent, loudmouthed racist with not an ounce of compassion for less fortunate people,” Krugman argued. “In other words, he’s exactly the kind of person the Republican base consists of and identifies with.”
“It’s clear that the very things that Upper West Side New Yorkers find detestable about him are exactly what endear him to the Republican base,” he continued. “Which is basically people who see in him everything — even the big red face and the yelling — that makes him their kind of guy.”
