He has given the redneck element a real voice (the ones who always voted against their self-interests). The Republican base was wealthy, corporate types and poor, white, under-educated people who take the Great American Myth to heart. (The myth that they are God's chosen people who have saved the world numerous times and are so much better than any other humans that they can sing "God Save America" always in full voice. As Neil Young once said, what's He going to do with the rest of the world?) The U. S. Army always recruits from this base because they are either under-employed or unemployed. And they come back disillusioned from whatever foreign hell-hole they've been assigned to because they find out there's more to the world than Podunk, Iowa. There's going to be a 3-way race this time. Trump's not backing down and neither is the Republican etablishment. It's going to be Trump, Cruz, and Clinton on the ballot, and a split Republican party has no hope against a unified Democratic one. Trump has bas demographics with women, Clinton with men, and nobody really knows what Cruz stands for, other than himself. This thing is far from over.
