And the longer there's more than one "establishment" candidate in the race, the better he does.

I don't disagree with any of this.

There's plenty of evidence that Trump is playing to white nationalism as his ticket to the nomination. His GOP is Le Pen's National Front. The frightening thing is how many supporters are thrilled to see the change.
