The GOP has a Spite Entitlement Complex and it's coming home to roost

Donald Trump succeeds with them because he appeals to their sense of *spite*.

Muslims? We'll throw 'em out

Women? They will face punishment for their private decisions

Jobs? We'll create 'em because we're gonna build a wall to keep your jobs from being stolen

Donald Trump is the fruition of their spite entitlement. They are the only group of people who think that each of society's ails are because of welfare. And HRC's presence excites their base, but I think it has much more to do with her being a woman than anyone wants to admit.

(edit: to add some more, lol)
