How Trump Continues To Lead The Polls

Recent polls indicate that, despite public outcry against his incendiary comments on women and minorities, Donald trump is still the leading Republican candidate.
Here are some reasons Trump stays so popular with his supporters:

--- Highly relatable lack of qualifications for holding public office
--- Americans' appreciation for classic underdog story of man who started with only several
hundred million dollars and went on to make several billion dollars
--- Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make America great again
--- Exploits other Republican candidates weaknesses by allowing them to open their mouths and
speak on issues
--- Very, very handsome
--- Voters eager to see presidential library with three infinity pools and rooftop driving range
--- Bolstered by impassioned endorsement from Donald Trump
--- Eccentric, megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average American than anyone
willing to dedicate life to politics
--- Appeals to widespread desire to see nation implode sooner rather than later
