I think the answer lies in a Congressional approval rating that's sometimes in single digits. That represents the generic trust that Washington acts in your best interests. So you might vote for someone you think will change the culture. I think that was part of Obama's appeal in 2008 and it's part of Trump's appeal today.
This week is about as unfriendly a group of primaries and caucuses possible for Trump. If he continues to win, and I think he'll do well but still considerably short of the pace he'll need to win the nomination outright, we have to change how we analyze political races. And in 2020, no doubt, someone equally outrageous will start generating buzz for the Democrats. Maybe it will be Kanye.
