There's the cult leader effect plus like Hitler he offers easy solutions to complex problems. Blame the Jews (Hitler) or in Trump's case the Mexicans and all Moslems. Give the rich big tax breaks and they'll be sure to pass it down to the average guy.
As for him not having done anything illegal 11 women say otherwise. Not proven in a courtroom yet but I know who I believe.
I'm not saying Hillary is the perfect candidate but at the side of Trump......
Why are so many people supporting him?? Thats the big question. I think firstly a lot of republicans will vote for whoever gets put up (as will a lot of democrats on the other side), also the Hillary factor means many moderate republicans simply will not vote for her no matter what!! As you say he is saying all the right things to appeal to the type of supporter we typically see at his rallies.
As I said he hasn't been found guilty of anything yet, so no legal reason for him not to stand. Ironically, while most will agree this is probably the 2 worst candidates an American election has ever seen, either side could have won this in a landslide if just one of them had put up a half decent candidate!!! Just about any other Republican could beat Hillary, and any decent Democrat would have been able to wipe the floor with trump!!
