In the video at the link, Vanderbilt is asked for his assessment of Hitler. He replies:
Unquestionably he is a man of real ability, of force. But the way I sized him up after interviewing him is that he is a strange combination of Huey Long, Billy Sunday, and Al Capone.I had never heard a man so able to sway people. He said Germany refused to forget her two million war dead. In the hour and a half that Hitler talked to that packed audience that night, he was as effective as a barker in a sideshow travelling with a circus. The German people had suffered so long that they were ready to accept the promises of anyone who held out some hope for the future.
I hope things never get so bad that, after a secession of a number Obama like dictators, America falls for a Hitler like person to restore sovereignty and order.
