Much of Clarke's appeal is based on him wearing a uniform, even if it is obsolete now, appealing to that segment of voters in the GOP who advocate for law and order ... as long as it is on their terms. And because he says out loud exactly what he thinks, which, as in the case of Trump, is seen as one of the highest virtues ... again, as long as it is telling them what they want to hear.

You mean there are people in the GOP that advocate for "law and order"? Color me shocked.

Yes, they do ... when it is their version of it. Not unlike how they've come to see other issues: as long as they get to decide which laws apply and when and how order is structured and by whom.
