It's kinda revealing in a way to see all the right wing hypocrisies exposed.

All the talk about political correctness being iniquitous. Then along comes Trump with his loose lips and the party starts complaining that he is not as politically correct as they think he ought to be!

For me, he is tapping into the things many, many Republicans really think and that the right wing politicians usually dress up in clean clothes. Trump is like the mechanic walking into the room covered in oil and talking smack. What Trump says.

Immigrants are criminals. Check.

Politicians are weak dissemblers. Check.

Women are emotional. Check.

People on welfare are lazy losers. Check.

The funny thing is, he is exposing their own undeclared analysis: the Republican id.

What the Republican politicians say:

Build a wall along the Mexican border. Check.

Reduce the size of government and discard regulation. Check.

Close Planned Parenthood. Check.

Remove the health and welfare safety net. Check.

It's the same set of thoughts under separate cover.

I'm shocked! Shocked!

Loose lips sink ships. But maybe they reveal some truths as well. Trump reveals the underlying ideas that drive Republican voters. Hence he is leading the polls.

And because the analysis is more visceral than reasonable, he has no viable solutions in much the same way that they don't. But it is more obvious with him than it is with them.

Donald Trump's 'blood' comment about Megyn Kelly backfires

Atlanta (CNN)Donald Trump's latest controversial comment was so alarming that he's been disinvited from a conservative gathering Saturday in Atlanta.

At issue: Trump's comments on "CNN Tonight" about Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who moderated a GOP presidential candidate debate Thursday night. During the debate, she pressed Trump about misogynistic, sexist comments he made in the past.

Trump slammed Kelly, saying "she is a lightweight. I couldn't care less about her."

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

That remark crossed the line, said RedState.com editor Erick Erickson. He disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, a conservative event featuring GOP presidential hopefuls this weekend in Atlanta. Trump was scheduled to give the keynote speech Saturday night.

"I have tried to give a great deal of latitude to Donald Trump in his run for the presidency," Erickson wrote.

"He is not a professional politician and is known for being a blunt talker. He connects with so much of the anger in the Republican base and is not afraid to be outspoken on a lot of issues. But there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. Decency is one of those lines."

Republican stalwart and Fox owner Rupert Murdoch praised debate moderators Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace -- while criticizing his friend Trump.

"Friend Donald has to learn this is public life," Murdoch tweeted.
