Former President Trump is a natural-born agitator with a lion's mane, so he roars.

Roaring at all the political strawmen he puts up, Trump has attracted a huge following of American rightists while driving away moderate conservatives. As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, he should be expanding his party. Instead, he is shrinking it.

Without even mentioning his worthy opponent, Nikki Haley, in his South Carolina victory speech, Trump has distanced himself from a significant minority of his fellow Republicans.

No contender in American politics can afford to lose voters from within his or her party. Can Trump?

Meanwhile, the silence of the decisive independents is deafening.
