Is Trumpism the new GOP mainstream?

No, it's Democrats and Republicans that are the problem and the same, tired rhetoric they trot out with the same tired people calling the majority of Americans stupid, racist, mysogenists, homophobes, communists, nazi, lazy and every other name or insult.

I know Christians voted for Trump to keep the Supreme Court center right and they voted for Pence, not Trump. I don't know about the rest of those who voted for him or why. I voted for Castle though and I did not want Trump to win, I don't like Trump at all.

All I know is that people voted for Trump because Hillary, that's it. The people who voted for him are willing to hold their nose for 4 to 8 years, keep the Supreme Court center right and then get a real leader in there after Trump. Hillary scared so many people, she's very shady and people just didn't trust her at all.

My opinion.

When I listen to Hannity, I hear all about "the same tired people calling the majority of Americans stupid, racist, mysogenists, homophobes, communists, nazi, lazy and every other name or insult."

But I confess  that once I turn off the radio and jaunt around town, or watch other news channels, I don't really hear a lot of people calling the majority of Americans "stupid, racist, misogynists, homophobes, communists" etc.  I just hear some news sources saying they do. The same one's saying Hillary is not to be trusted. But trust Donald.

I do hear people calling Trump racist and misogynist based upon his public statements and behavior. Perhaps his supporters identify with him so deeply they feel charges reflect back on them.
