Donald Trump has staked out a so-far successful campaign to attract American xenophobes, white supremacists and low-information voters who form an increasingly large base of the Republican Party.
Two weeks after the first Republican debate, despite the controversy over his past sexist comments and his baiting of Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Trump has solidified his frontrunner status, as polls have showed him the choice of 24 to 32 percent of Republican voters, far ahead of the 16 other presidential candidates.
Trump has set much of the tone for the race with his call to deport an estimated 11 million undocumented aliens, as well as an estimated 4.5 million children who were born in the US and thus claim citizenship under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Most of his Republican rivals joined in the immigrant bashing.
