As much as Trump is disliked, Hillary has some hefty negatives herself when it comes to Honesty.
barking like a dog is not presidential
Wish those on the left could criticise Trump without comparing him to Hitler ffs.

Story is that Trump bribed Carson for his endorsement by making him believe he had a shot at VP.

This is what I thought happened to Christie.

My guess is he will tell many people this. Remember, he has never spoken a word that isn't tailor made to manipulate the person or group he is speaking with. Not one word of authenticity has ever passed his lips.
See, in most of the cases I agree with you. The comparisons of Bush from the left or Obama from the right to Hitler were just plain silly.
But Trump's game plan is absolutely taking a page from early 30s Germany.
Now do I think Trump will start rounding up the Muslims and gays and throw them into camps? Of course not... but the rhetoric is frightening none the less.
Thank you. Seems anything even vaguely authoritarian has to draw immediate comparisons to Hitler - what a goddamn cliche.
Let's all pretend like Trump had no idea that having all of his supporters raise their arms in pledge to him would look eerily similar to a nazi salute.
Of course he knew what he was doing. His whole game is media manipulation. That's why he's spent next to nothing on the first third of the states. Media outlets comped him the advertising money.
If you are bothered by people's comparisons between Trump and Adolf Hitler, you're missing the fact that he's doing it on purpose. He's been training for years with this. It's by no means a coincidence.
I don't think you can necessarily draw a straight line from Trump to Hitler by any means. I think a fairer comparison is to say that this election is similar to the 1933 campaign the Nazis won. There are a lot more similarities than "Trump is fascist" (he's not). This is a pretty good analysis:
Why we have to talk about Hitler when we discuss Trump and Sanders: Don Pittis - Business - CBC News
And Hitler isn't the only historical figure ever to have used scapegoating as a rallying point or to have initiated international conflict. Hence the superficiality.
