Well, yeah, he's popular because he says what many believe. But, it's not clear that those beliefs are really thought through. There's an immigration problem, yes. Is it that that Mexico is sending criminals here to randomly murder American citizens? He talks about lazy Mexicans, but he hires (legal, afawk) Mexican immigrants to work for him. He talks about his billions, but the richest man in the world is a Mexican. Trump's complaints about illegal immigrants would be fine, and they've been discussed for a long time (though nothing has been done, even by this Congress), but he makes general statements about Mexicans and South Americans. Then he says that he has great relations with them. Well, wait for Mexicans and Latin Americans to speak for themselves. He says that he'd win the Latino vote. Not in California ("California Hispanic population outstrips white: Census"

That's probably in part due to his family's close relation to Mexico. But, I think that Trump has made a permanent enemy of the Bush's --by calling out Jeb on his Mexican wife. Damn, that sounded like something Andy Jackson would have had a duel over. Now, I don't know how many people believe that Jeb has a soft spot for illegal immigrants because his wife is from Mexico. I know that's not quite as innocent as saying Obama had a soft spot for White people because of his mom.
Anyway, I would love to have Trump run. The only negative is that he makes some of his competitors sound reasonable, sometimes.
Just kidding.
