A great speech by Peter Thiel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfYLEPRiIyE
He explains the popularity of Trump better than anything I have seen so far. Basically that Trump has done a lot of things he does not agree with, but that he gets the big things right. That the leadership of this country has been a bigger freek show than the election itself. And that Trump is the only outsider in the race at this point.
The video is not that long and well worth the watch IMO.
No matter what happens in this election, what Trump represents isn't crazy and it's not going away," he said, according to prepared remarks. "He points toward a new Republican Party beyond the dogmas of Reaganism. He points even beyond the remaking of one party to a new American politics that overcomes denial, rejects bubble thinking and reckons with reality.
