    Why it took until the last paragraph to equate Trump with Hitler. I expected it earlier from these leftist bomb throwers.
    Trump appeals to a number of sections of our society.
    First the traditional Republican voter is totally disgusted. He has been angry at the Obama "transformation" of this country. First they went to the polls and gave the Republicans control of the House and nothing happened. The party said "we can't do anything unless we have the Senate. Republicans went to the polls and gave them the Senate. Nothing has happened. In the last budget from the "Republican" Congress were provisions to fund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood. Additional funds we appropriated for continued illegal immigration policies of the administration. What did the "Republican" Congress get for it's "constituents?" Why a waiver of a ban on oil exports!!! WTF? The average knowledgeable Republican voter looks at that and says "all you fucks care about are the donor class." And so now it's time. Some of these congressmen are deeply entrenched in their districts although when Eric Cantor went down it was a shot over the bow. Now Republican voters want someone who is a. No an established politician and b. Not reliant on the donor class. That's Trump's big attraction.
    Add to that blue collar traditional Democratic voters who are disgusted with trade agreements that they believe sell them out and illegal immigration that they believe is taking their jobs and Trump is an attractive alternative. It's not unexpected that Trump is taking cheap shots from the left. That's their usual way of doing business. What amazing is the resistance from the establishment Republicans. They're terrified that Trump might not be for sale unlike the whores who inhabit the halls of Congress.
    One last thing. Only idiots play Russian Roulette. Allowing immigrants in from Muslim governed countries when you can't properly vet them is nothing more than playing Russian Roulette. Of course the left bomb throwers immediately shout "Islamaphobe" and "bigot." But the average American says "that makes sense." It's not Trump's position that is wrong it's the sad fact that they government is unable to protect us for terrorists like the Boston Marathon bombers and the San Bernadino killers.

    I'm more like Trump on this issue than any other.

    If you can't do it right don't do it. And when it comes to one shoe size fits all security immigration policies I say that is an asinine and supremely dangerous way of looking at it.

    But..... one size fits all is not often accurate or appropriate.

    :roll:

    For more than 40 years Trump gave millions of dollars to the Democratic Party including both Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, and all the politicos from New York to New England. How is it that he only became like Hitler when he decided to run as a Republican? Nobody is buying this crap anymore. Where is the Democrat's alternative? A Hillary who's going to be indicted? A 75 year-old Marxist who believes that people who don't work for the government are the real enemy?

    There's nothing left of the old Democratic Party that I used to belong to except Gov. Moonbeam...and he's one of the reasons why I left...

    2 interesting things this election cycle for me, the guy who has given up on the 2 party system:

    1. The GOP vs Donald Trump. He's not a Republican. He's a Trump. The radicalized religious zealots on the right realize, while they control the party, they may not control the election and this guy just might win.

    2. The DNC Hillary train vs Bernie Sanders. If you turn on CNN, they tell you Hillary is winning. If you turn on MSNBC, they tell you Hillary is winning. When you go to the rallies, Sanders is out drawing Hillary 2 and 3 to 1. It should be mentioned that the stations parent companies are, and have been, backers of the Clintons since the 90s. So here we have another established 'system' being challenged by a "People's candidate."

    Forget the labels for a moment. Trump is probably a Fascist. Sanders is at least a socialist, if not a Marxist. The bigger story than the egg tossing is that 2 candidates are emerging as front runners in spite of an established election system that is designed to keep them out. If Sanders can pull a crowd of 7000 on a short notice rally in Alabama, you better pay attention to him.

    If the black voters take the time to learn about Sanders policy, which they've yet to do, AND they turn out in numbers as they did for Obama, Hillary will get beat.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, any Democrat who can split the South will win the Presidency. Hillary will get killed in the South by Trump, or really any warm GOP body. Sanders just might win states like Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina etc... I just can't see Alabama going Democrat, but again, if the black vote turns out and doesn't get turned away (looking at you Mississippi), Sanders just may surprise some folks.
