Well, IMO the biggest thing is the economy -- people feel like they were sold a bill of goods with the experts coming in and telling them that free trade would be great and make them more prosperous and now they live in towns that are shadows of their past selves and suffer under- and unemployment.

The parts of the economy that Trump supporters see are absolutely affected by immigration policy.

Well, that's true, but it'd be less of a hot-button issue if so many factories weren't shuttered.
Anyway, your point about judicial review is well taken -- whether you're the type of person to get riled up about Prop 8 or about Citizens United it's basically anti-democratic.
