What I am saying is that just because a lot of Republicans love Trump that does not mean they will love every mean spirited ass hole.
In a way Obama was a little like that. He had a "cool" factor that people liked. Even though he was very popular his support did not help other Democrats win elections and keep control of Congress.
This is a good point. I think there are figures that outshine their political party a bit and both seem to have been that.
