Who Says the Republican Party Is Divided?

Rick Klein: “The Republican Party isn’t all that divided, actually. After Tuesday night, the GOP looks remarkably united — behind someone who happens to divide. If you judge the party by its voters, as opposed to its leaders, the Republican Party belongs to Donald Trump. With at least five wins Tuesday, and running against a still-divided opposition, Trump is taking control the old-fashioned way: by getting more votes than the others. Republican voters want an outsider who ‘tells it like it is’ and will build a border wall and ban Muslims from entering the country. They may not have known they wanted those things until Trump landed on the scene -– but that’s the point of a candidacy that is shaking a major party’s foundations.”

“Super Tuesday provided convincing evidence that Trump’s appeal extends across Cracker Barrel territory and well into Whole Foods land… Two states where Trump romped — rolling up some of his biggest margins yet — tell that story.”
