Robespierre, Napoleon, Hilter, Mussolini, Stalin, Obama ...


All Ego-maniac power hungry, deceptive, populist, lying (both sides of the argument) ... riding a wave of angry voters.

Is this America's Donald Trump in 2016 ?



As a FreeRepublic (Class of 1998) patriot, who's posted many times applauding Donald Trump's ideas and courage ...

I continue to be "incrementally" dismayed at Donald Trump's demeanor and apparent personal immaturity.



How about You ?

How are we supposed to support a candidate who has a "Howard Dean Moment" once a week ?

Will a Donald Trump "better deal at this time (2017-2018)" cancel-out "The Mexico Wall" ?

Frankly, it would be GREAT if Donald Trump could "morph" into the "more civilized" candidate that he's promised to at some point.



Finally, let's consider General George S. Patton Jr. for a moment.

Patton was a fierce warrior against the Nazis.

That was good.

Kinda like Donald Trump regarding The Mexico Wall, halting Islamic Visas temporarily, ending Sanctuary Cities, rebuilding the military, and several other points.

But General Patton voiced his genuine respect to German General Erin Rommel.

"Rommel, You magnificent bastard -- I read your book !"



Does Donald Trump ever do that ? "No" or very rarely.

No ... Donald Trump rarely behaves like Gen. George Washington.

Indeed ... Donald Trump perfectly mimics the "Do ANYTHING to ACHIEVE Power and Wealth" like the 1880 American "Robber Barrons".

Ouch !

Kinda like the GOPe "bastards" who screwed Chris McDaniels in Mississippi in 2014.

Kinda like Hitler's Nazi Brownshirts who viciously attacked ANY and ALL who dared voice ANY criticism or dissent against their DEAR LEADER.



It's estimated that almost four-million Conservative Americans REFUSED in 2012 to vote for Mitt Romney ... considering Mitt a galaxy-class @sss-hole.

I personally held my nose and voted for Romney anyway.

But 4,000,000 America Conservatives told Mitt Romneny to GO TO HELL.

Donald "Scorched Earth Victory at any Price" Trump risks the same fate.

The painful TRUTH is Donald Trump has become an @sshole.

Kinda like a nausetating version of New York's Chuck Schummer.




This is such a Shakespearean tragedy in light of Donald Trump's great ideas (see above list).

These words will "certainly" represent a moment of "cognitive dissonance" for many Donald Trump supporters at FreeRepublic.

Film at Eleven.

These words will "certainly" represent a moment of "cognitive dissonance" for many Donald Trump supporters at FreeRepublic.

Cognitive dissonance are Freepers fighting for a doomed candidate who has called legalization of illegals part of "common sense" immigration reform. Cruz is toast. Move on with your life.

God looked down at Cruz and said, “Not in my name!”

[M. Thatcher]

As Trump's son put it, we're beyond all that. "Sometimes you need a sledgehammer."

He's right.

Re: “It's estimated that almost four-million Conservative Americans REFUSED in 2012 to vote for Mitt Romney...”

Sorry, Patton, that's not correct.

4 million "white voters" stayed home in 2012, and there is zero evidence that they were Conservatives.

In 2012, Obama lost 5.5 million white voters compared to 2008.

In 2012, Romney got 1.5 million more white voters than McCain got in 2008.

Bottom Line - the 4 million white voters who stayed home in 2012 voted for Obama in 2008.

[StAnDeliver]

I'm going to need a bigger mug...

[Mariner]

Yes, Trump is a blowhard and asshole.

But if we get a wall out of it, everything else is gravy.

Some of that gravy I think we'll get is equalized trade, VA fix and burning K Street to the ground.

We'll probably get a couple of good SC nominations out of it too.

We're not likely to enter any military conflict except those that present existential threat, and Muslims will know they are not welcome here.
