Never said he'd answer or fix anything. But his popularity is due to the fact that he is tapping into working class anger over globalism... Also, once the general hits, watch him come out as a moderate, pragmatic leader. All the rhetoric was to win the Republican primaries and separate himself from all the bland conservatives.

I think his willingness to be honest and polarizing is a respectable quality, which is why some love him. But if he turns out to become moderate for the sake of PR, then there will really be nothing about him I can respect.
