The Republican establishment has a difficult time understanding the attraction of Donald Trump. I am a big fan of Mr. Trump, but if Republicans had spent as much time and energy fighting against Obama’s unconstitutional actions as they have working against Trump, they would not be in this predicament.

With regard to Mitt Romney’s comments that Trump is a phony and full of empty promises — the difference between Trump and other Washington politicians is … what?
