Recent polls indicate that, despite public outcry against his incendiary comments on women and minorities, Donald Trump is still the leading Republican candidate. Here are some reasons Trump stays so popular with his supporters:

Highly relatable lack of qualifications for holding government office



Americans’ appreciation for classic underdog story of man who started with only several hundred million dollars and went on to make several billion dollars



Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make America great again



Exploits other Republican candidates’ weaknesses by allowing them to open their mouths and speak on issues



Very, very handsome



Voters eager to see presidential library with three infinity pools and rooftop driving range



Bolstered by impassioned endorsement from Donald Trump



Eccentric, megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average American than anyone willing to dedicate life to politics



Appeals to widespread desire to see nation implode sooner rather than later
