The F-word: CNN's MJ Lee has a useful round-up of Republicans who are deciding to unite around the "fascist" label. As she points out, a number of prominent voices in the Republican race have decided it's an appropriate way to characterize Trump's rhetoric.
One is Max Boot, an adviser to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, who tweeted that Trump deserved the label:

You actually think they’d go after “one of their own”?
It’s ridiculous.
The closest thing to the fascist economic model is crony capitalism as practiced by the Washington Cartel.
Saying that security concerns with uncontrolled immigration is fascism is like saying that the Alamo was defended by the Gestapo.
It’s uninformed propaganda.
We have a fascist now. They don’t seem to be very concerned about that.
Failed states always devolve into dictatorships. If trump wins, I would be rather happy to see him cage up and ship off the GOP to a camp in the arctic circle. I would think a lot of people would agree. Justice does not always require a court.
It is only going to improve Trumps score. The voters are watching the hatred of the Establishment illuminate lies and deceptions, along with power mad establishment figures baseness. Those who have long since sold the American people out are beibg unmasked in droves along with their cohorts. “Traitor” is not a strong enough word anymore. Trump has their number and the citizens of this once great country are loving getting even through Trump.
They wash Hillary's and Obama's feet and then become prostrate in their presence.
The “lets call him a fascist” strategy-— strategy number 511 to bring Trump down... who wants to bet whether it will work?
Fascism is socialism combined with extreme nationalism. By that measure none of the candidates of either party qualify. Bernie is socialist but by no measure nationalist. Hillary is authoritarian but seems happy with highly regulated crony capitalism - two strikes against her but it’s not fascism. None of the republicans come as close to fascism as she does. Tump might turn out to be authoritarian.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE GOPe DID TO PAT BUCHANAN WHEN HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST BUSH I. Another reason not to vote for a Bush ever again, including George P.
Yes. Yes. And YES!
The GOPe doesn't worry if Hillary wins. They can work with her. She's cut from the same cloth as they are.
Exactly. Fascism is simply a variation of socialism /communism. Recall that it was a coalition of communists and socialists who elected Hitler. He was close enough and they all thought they could replace him.
Trump is not a left wing socialist / communist / fascist as some so called Republicans would have you believe.
I am really starting to hate the Leadership of the GOP.
No shipping off Rove though,I’m making soup using his head.
it’s 1814
Correctomudo
Who cares what the elites think. Apparently no one because their candidates are cratering. I think a steam roller is coming this election and the elites are under the rollers.
Put Rove in a cage and put him on display in DC. Call it a reverse zoo. Issue people monkey masks and charge them throw feces at him.
We’d pay off the national debt quickly.
