This Trump is the personification of the extreeme right. The crazy hate the govt types.
However there is many different slices of crazy in the Republican party. He doesn't really sit well with the Relgious Right and the typical GOP fan base doesn't like him either but they were willing to vote for him.
What is odd though is up until Trump, the far right radicals ad the Christian right were sort of one and the same. They both ushered in the Tea Party and really appeared to be one ad the same. However Trump split them in two with the Relgious ones still supporting Cruz and the other supporting Trump.
I really think it's hard to say Trump is all of the crazy of the Republican party, he is just 1/3 of it IMHO. Get one of the crazy religious guys inn his place and it's a whole different level of crazy..
The truly sad part is the neocon or the old Republican guard actually seem like the sane ones..
