Come on, they control both houses of Congress (for now, could change, lots of Senate Republicans up for re-election in November) and a large majority of governorships and state legislatures. They are clearly appealing to a LOT of people, right?

Trump is obnoxious and offensive. But as you described repubs as doing nothing but insulting people, believe it or not, a lot of conservatives feel the same way about liberals. Obama calling us bitter clingers because we are racist, for example. Or Obama saying that all we do is "hate all the time". The precise reason why Trump is doing well, is because many conservatives are tired of taking cheap shots, and want someone who will throw elbows back. McCain would not do that, nor would Romney. Trump is happy to do it.
