As the crowd was leaving, a man said: “Now that I saw it myself, I want to go home and see how it looks on CNN.” I knew what he meant.

What inspired the 300-mile drive Friday night from Long Island toward a noon rally up north was the sense that after a week of “Access Hollywood” tape replays and sexual assault allegations, Trump might finally be ready to completely blow his stack,

What transpired was foundationally different: Most of Trump’s speech focused on specific problems facing the people of New Hampshire and the United States, and the steps a Trump administration would take to address them.

The Republican presidential candidate spoke at length about the opiate addiction ravaging New Hampshire.

On trade, Trump spoke about... how things like not understanding the value-added tax in a partner trading nation can lead to poorly negotiated deals...

He also did the “Full Trump” at times.

But at the root of the rally was the kernel of an idea that made his campaign catch fire... It is not going well for you... It is not your fault. The people in power do not care, and, in fact, have benefitted from the situation. None of the “politics as usual” people from either party, having caused the trouble or allowed it to happen, can be trusted to fix it, he said.

then the premise of Trump’s (and Bernie Sanders’) campaigns were true all along, and the game won’t change as long as voters elect the people who wrote the rules and shuffled the cards in the first place.

And that last line, along with the enthusiasm for Trump, and the Corrupt to the Core Hiding Hillary must scare the bejeezuz out of Hillaryistas... because people are sick of the Hillary Clinton types, and especially her... a criminal that "is more equal than others".

LOCK HER UP!!!

Where is Hiding Hillary? Afraid of another public seizure?

Every American should read the excellent book by William L.Shirer THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH. The appeal of nazism and Hitler in Germany in the 1930's and the appeal of right wing populism and Trump in the USA today is very similar and lots of the people and their grievances agains the system are frighteningly similar.

I am praying history will not repeat itself

who ever thought it could, and this soon too

not me

but then I remember thinking that wars were almost a thing of the past and that soon there would be no vets for Nov 11

my god how wrong I was
 
Way too little and waaay too late for Trump I'm afraid. Trump needed to do one thing this year to win the election: present himself as a viable alternative to Hillary. He failed. In fact, the only way Hillary could ever win was to run against someone even more unlikeable than she is. Enter Donald Trump. He insulted and bullied his way through a campaign in which every coherent comment he made was shouted down by a dozen ignorant, insensitive, incoherent, moronic others. If he loses this election by less than 15 points I will be surprised. As for Hillary, she should hide. The election is hers. She could spend the next 23 days holed up in Chappaqua and still coast to victory. She doesn't need to defeat Trump. Hes taken care of that all by himself.

And I pray along with you.

People like to use what they believe is an ace card up their sleeve in debate and use the term Godwin to make fun of the folks who bring up Hitler and Nazi German as a comparison to today. We need to say forget them and the comparison can be very valid, very true, very accurate and very useful. The Trump campaign is one such perfect example.

I read that book back in the 80's. You can drop the Nazi parallels any time now. They dont exist.

This morning the Washington Post/ABC News poll has Trump four points behind.

It is said that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

We should be afraid. Very afraid.

That's the only thing that caught your eye?

What's Hillary's plan to help the declining middle class, import more jobs on H1B's with her partners in India, Tata Consulting?

What's her plan to create meaningful jobs for everyday Americans, turn them over to other countries, or is calling them deplorable rednecks sufficient?

Hillary is criminal like Hitler I guess. Except Hitler actually spent time in jail for his early crimes.

Both had the cooperation of the media, hence today's Goebbels Propaganda Press Corpse.

Hitler, like The Clinton Crime Machine is cozy with the GPPC, involved in the preparation of their articles... Both had a compliant press.

Hillary, like Hitler had health issues, and both... liked *****.

Does that little rubber hammer hitting your patella ever get irritating seeing that your automatic response is nearly ever present and never stops?

And both Hitler and Trump tell the world that only they can fix the problems.

No, you are simply repeating ignorant liberal talking points. If you actually talked to Trump supporters rather than mouth everything you hear on MSNBC, you would realize how silly you sound.

Interesting theory.

"I believe that the Democratic party, when all of this is said and done, will have to deal in a very deep way with the healing process, because the fact of the matter is that the hackers didn’t write the emails,” Turner explained. “We’re dealing with people who talked about needy Latinos. We’re dealing with people who said things about African-Americans and others. Heck, I’m even in the emails, as well. I can tell from you reading the ones that I’ve seen so far with my name in them, the Russians didn’t write those emails. They were by the people within the Clinton camp.”

And read this from somebody who was there and is again there today.

Of course there are differences - there always are. But the similarities are there also and they are very frightening.

Every attempt to liken Trump with Hitler is rooted in ignorance and paranoia. I get you are frightened, but you are allowing your emotionalism to trump your reason

Well, I'd say Hillary has the edge on it... being a Socialist, having a compliant media, and generally believing the masses are a pliant, ignorant mass.
