In this version of Republicans on parade: A man in line to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump talk, called a female protester who was clearly not happy about Trumps hate speech just a piece of a$$.
Jeffrey Blackburn, an award winning photojournalist with 12 News in Phoenix, caught it and shared it:
So now you know the kind of person that has propelled Donald Trump to the top of the Republican Party primary polls.
Trump wont be content until he forces all of the hate out for a walk in the sunshine. Republicans shouldnt be too upset, they built that.

Republicans shouldnt be too upset, they built that.
More than that - he speaks for them. He's right in one sense - no one else has the guts to say what he's saying. But make no mistake, they agree with him. That's why you aren't seeing massive GOP condemnation of him. They're a little uncomfortable because intelligent people realize that they all secretly agree with him, but not uncomfortable enough to shut him up or denounce him. They'll only be too happy to see him hang himself, meanwhile he gets to say all the things they'd like to say in the process, so they'll let him continue.

He IS their zeitgeist and muse.

Trump is appealing to the true idiots who compose a significant portion of the GOP base
