Trump: Rallying around an ‘instrument of class vengeance’
US Senator Lindsey Graham has labelled him a “nut job.” Former
Governors Jeb Bush of Florida, Rick Perry of Texas, and Bobby Jindal of
Louisiana have described him as a “jerk, loser, liar, and whiner”; a
“cancer on conservatism”; and “a shallow, unserious, substance-free,
narcissistic egomaniac,” respectively.
But these Republican
leaders’ opinions appear not to be shared by a majority of the people
who count at the ballot box: the American voter. And so it is that
Donald J. Trump, a boorish billionaire and political neophyte, has been
propelled to the front of the pack of Republican candidates hoping to be
the next occupant of the White House.
