The sublime image of Trump at last Saturday's rally... their fervor suggested they would be willing to take a bullet for him.
In that moment it was clear that Trump's survival of an attempted assassination had turned him into a figure that transcends politics, an American messiah with swagger.
Like demagogues of the past, Trump understands spectacle... raw political entertainment.
To Democrats, comedians, and much of the world, it is a preposterous sight. To the Trump faithful, it makes him human and lovable.
