There's a lot to dislike about Trump, but there is one thing about him that everyone who actually loves this country should be thrilled with.  He's held a mirror to the bankrupt politics of the day.  He's called them out publicly and this, more than any other reason, is why he's getting votes.  Hopefully he destroys the GOP as it currently exists so it can emerge as an actually viable alternative to the Democrats.

I'm not suggesting he doesn't deserve it based on the rules of the GOP's primary system, I'm suggesting that there would be more lost by having him as the candidate than by not having him as the candidate. 

He polls highest amongst GOP candidates with "who would you stay home and not vote for?". He has the highest unfavorable rating and the lowest net favorability. The fact that his 35% is united behind him while the other 65% can't agree between Cruz or Rubio is what is allowing that minority to keep him in 1st. If it were a brokered convention and he lost the nomination, more Republicans would be happy than you would have Republicans upset.

That's all I am saying.
