Stop citing anger for Donald Trump's rise https://t.co/Cotxe8oyKf pic.twitter.com/csDbpKGCVL

Donald Trump improved his status in the Republican delegate race on Tuesday.
And as he has pressed forward on his path to the GOP nomination, one narrative has been near-constant: The American electorate has gotten angry, and Trump is their mode of expressing that anger. He is their anger, personified.
The problem is, even as Trump has played up the idea of the angry voter sticking it to the Republican establishment, the numbers don't suggest any substantial increase in Republican anger. In fact, Republican anger isn't that far off from where it was in 2012, when a decidedly non-angry candidate won the GOP nomination.
