Donald Trump might win... another hitler figure?

[rareboy]

Donald Trump is not Hitler. He's an asshole, but he's not Hitler.

He'll either win, or he won't. There's no need to hopscotch around it.

I know this is Hot Topics and I don't want to get too political, but some of the points he brings up we are all thinking, keeping it 100%.

This is what makes demagogues dangerous...they know how to appeal to slices of the population....it is what made so many Germans able to overlook the atrocities against Jews, Gypsies and Homos because they loved the fact that the trains ran on time.
Trump is doing exactly the same thing in his rational appeals to each of our individual beefs and prejudices.

It wasn't even that Hitler was so individually evil and powerful that he could do all this by himself. His sociopathic personality was strong enough to persuade other weak and evil people to help him achieve his goals for a racially pure Germany.

Trump has also been able to do this as well. I am afraid of the people he would bring with him.

Remember that Bush the younger was just a dimwitted stooge used by Halliburton and the military industrial complex to use up materiel. While he was probably too dim to have created the kind of havoc he did, his choice of Rumsfeld and Cheney unleasehed a storm of evil that we still live with a decade later.

Trump is not another Hitler. So many people call everyone another Hitler nowadays that I can only laugh at how stupid it sounds.

Besides hid mouth benefits Hilary so everyone wins.

 

[mikemizanin729]

Where did I say anything prejudicial ? You don't even know me

I've never made a racist/prejudice statement here on JUB or in TRW

"Noteworthy".

Somehow your one remark will make you a racist.

This is thruth...and worth repeating....

But Trump ISN'T the candidate yet. Pre-worrying does nothing. If he is nominated, then he'll be dealt with, and easily. He's not a juggernaut -- he's a jughead. We make him a paper tiger when there is no credible reason to believe he could appeal to the total population. Dominating polls for a Midwestern state or conservative party does not the president make.

The media keep the hype going for ratings. It will all turn to smoke soon enough.

Well, there you go again...
I am not worried, except for those who proclaim Trumps demise before any election, this causes some to sit home and not vote.
People were saying it was the end of Trump right after he announced his candidacy for his parties nomination, yet here he is.
Don't underestimate your opponents.
This might come as a surprise, but Hillary is not all that appealing.

Actually, I'm no Hilary fan. She was First Lady in my home state, and I didn't like her then. I'll be backing anyone else unless the Democrats name her. If they do, I can only pray she picks Castro as her running mate, as I believe it will take his skills to get her elected.

As for making anyone stay home, I don't buy that theory. I have no influence over the Republican primaries, and the Democrats can easily see the need to vote with the field that the GOP has trotted out.

I do discount Trump's real odds and I stand by that evaluation.

But the military leaders don't vote. Uneducated morons do. By the masses. There was a CNN study I saw this morning that showed 48% of Trump supporters do not have a college degree while only 16% does. So, obviously his rhetoric is attracting the great multitude of the uneducated. And from my experience, the uneducated often times have a disdain of the educated.

The military leaders may not like Trump, but they are in the minute minority.

So lack of a degree makes one a uneducated moron? Ben Carson and GW Bush both have book smarts but certainly seem like prime examples of moronic idiots to many .

 

[zombiekiller]

So lack of a degree makes one a uneducated moron? I use Ben Carson and GW Bush as prime examples of the opposite.

No, but voting for Trump is.

What else do you call people who support Trump even though he's running a fact-free campaign?

As do I. An early starter, who will fade.

My point is that if Trump should get his party's nomination it would be tragic if the voters for the Dems. sat home because "Trump can't win" has been preached for months on end.

Raúl or Fidel?

Joaquín or Julián?

I agree.

I suspect that a similar thing happened in the last congressional election. The GOP grabbed a bunch of seats because so many people just stayed home.

Au contraire, mon ami should Trump win, the Democrats will saturate the polling booths with enthusiasm.

My philosophy is plan for the worst, hope for the best. The worst case scenario is Trump getting elected if we don't encourage people to vote.
I have been involved in door to door campaigns before. I have ran for office on a local level myself. You can't count on people to do anything without some encouragement and inspiration.
The dems. are not enthusiastic about Hillary, who ever the rep. candidate is we would do well to not be complacent.

Were Americans offered a choice between Hillary, and Trump I believe that Hillary Clinton would win the presidential vote.

To believe otherwise, would be to image that Americans had been overcome by a psychosis, hitherto unknown in mankind.
