He's good at providing hope. False hope, but that's hard to admit if all other candidates seem hopeless.
Especially for the blue collar working class and the rural poor who were forgotten by Republicans, actively hated on by Democrats. Also pretty much disenfranchised by the winner takes all electoral system.
He didn't manage to destroy the country in the first term due to the constant opposition from Democrats. That not obvious at first sight. If you were completely new to US politics he'd just seem loud and vaguely innefective.

I'm chronically online, and have seen the way anyone not in the "urban progressive" crowd is talked about in American politics discussion. Would you vote for the option which continually insults your appearance, origins, dialect and arrogantly dismisses any legitimate concerns you may have.
