Trump IS the GOP

Me, last week:
Why are people acting as if Trump is some sort of GOP outlier; oh he says crazy things but the serious, mature GOP is horrified and wants no part of him.

What?

He's not too crazy about non-whites, he thinks you should vote for him just because he's rich, and his solution to any problem, particularly foreign affairs, is to "kick ass!!!!" In other words, he's EXACTLY what Republicans have been clamoring after for years now. 
Paul Krugman finally catches up, copies me:
“He’s a belligerent, loudmouthed racist with not an ounce of compassion for less fortunate people,” Krugman argued. “In other words, he’s exactly the kind of person the Republican base consists of and identifies with.”
“It’s clear that the very things that Upper West Side New Yorkers find detestable about him are exactly what endear him to the Republican base,” he continued. “Which is basically people who see in him everything — even the big red face and the yelling — that makes him their kind of guy.”
