A study by pollster Matthew MacWilliams shows that what Trump's supporters have in common, more than anything else, is the desire for authority.
MacWilliams asked people whether they preferred a respectful, obedient and well-behaved child or an independent and curious one. Those who tend to favor the former are seen as being authoritarian.
Trump was the candidate strongly favored by the respondents with authoritarian ideas.
This group offers tremendous potential for Trump, says MacWilliams, noting that not only 49 percent of Republicans but also 39 percent of independent voters showed a penchant for the authoritarian.
What would America look like with a man like this at the helm? And what could the world expect from a President Trump?
It makes sense that Trump doesn't seem to care much about freedom of religion or other cornerstones of democracy. In his rhetoric, he could hardly be more contemptuous of Congress. Freedom of the press also seems to annoy him.
If there's a basic idea behind Trump's campaign, it's his own leadership strength. "We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning," Trump has pledged.
