I'm not really following politics very closely right now, so I could be wrong, but does he have a view that is radically different than the other Republican candidates?

Well, calling immigrants "rapists" seems like it's at the small end of the bell-curve. He's also said that he'll make Mexico pay for a border wall, which is a unique and unfulfillable promise.

Seriously, his mouth is in fourth, his brains in neutral.

I think calling immigrants rapists isn't a political point of view. I don't think Donald Trump has particularly unique or extreme political opinions. I guess you could say having Mexico pay for a wall (something that will never happen anyway) is a slight variation on building a wall. There is a wall between most of the border already anyway. It's a pretty secure border, certainly the most secure one I've ever crossed and I've crossed plenty. It's also not really a controversial position. 51% of people want to build a wall. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_c...immigrants) So I don't think Donald actually has any positions out of the mainstream. He just has a way of expressing them that is out of the mainstream for politicians.

Oh, and I am going to take this moment to say that while I may seem like I'm defending Donald Trump here, I am not. I am just stating what is actually extreme and what is not. I think a wall it totally silly. It represents a 2 minute delay to illegal immigrants on their trip to the US.
