That is how Romney will enter the general election if Trump gets a full majority of delegates in the primary. Romney would not be running to win as an Independent but to give the anti Trump Republicans a candidate to vote for. It will guarantee a huge Republican under vote for Trump and keep Trump out of the White House. It will put Hillary in it.

Probably the reason doesn’t quote the founding fathers if you required to have done something resembling research into the classical underpinnings of the Republic. Something that I cannot believe DJT has done a lot of.

The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.

We have a potential “Republican” candidate...

“Justice Scalia, Justice Rehnquist, and all our prior Attorneys General must be turning in their graves. “

The one that was on another free luxury vacation from a political hack donor, who just had business before the court?

[Techjock]

Not sure I know the answer to that question but I do know which candidate Jimmy Carter said he could tolerate because he is malleable - Donald Trump.

[Bidimus1]

And you know who set up and give it a tribution to give the quotation bounds trump the other hand is unbounded on almost everything. I would also point out you are not running for president of United States if you were I would expect you to have a little more thought and research into the things you say.

“neither Ronald Reagan nor any other modern conservative, of any stripe, no matter how frustrated with the size of our government, level of taxation and debt, fear for our country’s security - would ever counsel throwing their lot in with Mussolini”

Bitburg cemetery, SS graves?

[DesertRhino]

“Republicans have always been proud of being responsible, genuine stewards of the Republic. “

-He said this with a straight face?- Astounding. I give you the GOP after Reagan, with the sole exception of the contract with America as proof to the opposite. They are generally craven traitors, NWO, open border free-traitors who love a police state and endless war, and love moslems and mexicans as much as any democrat.

You said: By the way that was said about Mussoulini by a British polticoian so if they is going to have these sorts of hissy fitsn could he at least be accurate?

What's your source?

Here's a picture of a copper medallion with that quote that the Italian Fascists left in Ethiopia:
The quote is in the original Italian, as one would expect. Translated, it says: "Better to live one day as a lion than one hundred years as a sheep." It's described as a Fascist motto.

Also, according to the book Ideology and International Relations in the Modern World, by Alan Cassels:

Now the time had come, in Mussolini's words, for 'reaching out to the people', the only ideological raison d'être he had to fall back on was militant nationalism. Therefore, 1930s Italy was deluged with slogans at once minatory and somehow ridiculous: 'Better one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep'; 'War is to man what motherhood is to woman'; 'Whoever has iron has bread'.

(I needed to look up the word "minatory"; it means "menacing" or "threatening".)

Jimmah and Harry both endorsed Trump and each in their own way said Ted would be awful.

So we have Jimmy Carter and Harry Reid and Jeff Sessions are all endorsing them very same candidate.

It is a world gone mad.

[DesertRhino]

Why is Cruz staring at Trumps crank?

[Slyfox]

He is reminding him that his fly is open.

"Made you look!"

[Persephone Kore]

No doubt.

Of course, Trump isn't a scholar of World War II either. He's just retweeting quotes that strike him right emotionally.

The problem is that these tweets then reveal something about his particular style of emotional appeal. Why does the same quote appeal to him as worked for Mussolini? Because they are running the same sort of campaign (what the country needs a strongman leader to unify us, not another pussy, etc., etc. -- which may sound good at first to many people, but is in fact antithetical to American individualism and liberty).

[DesertRhino]

Actually, the trains did run on time. And their aircraft industry was spectacular in the late 20 and into the 30s. Mussolini wasn’t really so bad personally... He just picked bad friends.

[Texan5]

It is just a quote-even a lunatic can come up with something profound now and again-there are so many other things to get into a frenzy over-and you might be disappointed in my conduct and choice of words as a candidate for pres-I was not brought up to mince words, and I don’t come from a PC family-my ancestors were Basque dissidents from Spain who left to avoid being jailed or hanged because they didn’t shut up-we haven’t changed much, for good or ill...

[DesertRhino]

And you know what, read a little on it. Zapata wasn’t actually a bad guy. He just had the quaint notion that people shouldn’t be serfs to a landowner and that if you made an agreement with him,,,, you really needed to keep it.
Seriously kids, always keep your promises to Zapata and Villa. No joke.

[theoilpainter]

Why am I not surprised. So far in this campaign, Trump has learned that he can say and do anything and there is no ransom to be paid. That will change after the nomination. Trump vs Clinton: what a nightmare for us and the country.

Trump U. Graduation reunion to be held in a phone booth,if they can find either!

[XenaLee]

I’m not now nor have I ever been a Republican. I just vote Republican in order to vote against Democrats.
