Fascist? No, not yet at least.

Populist, with a cult of personality? Yup.

3. Trump's support for a type of nationalism that is starting to push into the overtly rascist and nativist realm.

Sure man, anyone who wants immigration laws enforced and is concerned about the consequences of unregulated borders is a crypto-nazi appealing to racist impulses.

Or it could be you've succumbed to vile leftist brainwashing on the subject.

4. And the way that his followers cheer him on in so including supporting him using sexist slurs against Megan Kelly for doing her job as a journalist.

Megan Kelly's hatchet job "journalism" is shockingly unprofessional. Out of context character smears are not an integral part of journalism -- they are a betrayal of it. Oh by the way she just came back from vacation and devoted the first part of her show to trashing trump and goading her guests into doing the same.

You can't push the sexist slur thing with a straight face. You know Megan's question about Trump wanting to see a woman "on her knees" was debunked as a gross out of context smear right?

Right now, I think Trump is playing the demagogue card. And doing it well. The benefit of that is that it makes the unsayable sayable. It crushes political correctness, and emboldens the timid. In other words, it sets a new bar.

If you feel like a citizen of Germany in the post-WWI days, maybe it's because those citizens felt overwhelmed by the shame the world tried to heap on them, the onerous economic conditions of the time, and the hopelessness that arose from a weak, compliant government. Kind of like the United States today ...

You fear Trump. I fear just about anyone else.

Jeez....as a fellow supporter of Ted Cruz, let me say “Lighten up, Francis”.

I’m certainly not a Trump supporter but I am glad to see the tizzy he’s throwing the GOPe, ‘RATS and Mainstream Media into.

Rosy Scenario: Trump is destroying the pro-invasion RINO’s for the benefit of Ted Cruz.

The mystery is what excuse will Trump have for bowing out.

Do you want a straight answer to that or are we obligated by past usage to throw the word “fascist” around as loosely as we’ve been throwing the words “socialist” and “communist” around?

Using your logic, the cult of personality epithet could easily be applied to Cruz. During his TPA flip flop many of his supporters blindly flipped and flopped right along with him regardless of the facts presented to them. It wasn’t pretty to watch here.

I've always been laughed at for saying that if things kept going the way they were going, that we'd end up with a National Front Party. The lawlessness of the Democrats and the lawlessness of the bureaucracy with the collusion of elected Republicans has gotten us nearer that point. I like Trumps personality better than most of the others.

Quietly and in the background there have been developing a lot of scores to be settled. You have a right to be worried but I don't think it's Trump you need to be worried about.

I don’t see any of that. Many people particularly newscasters tend to overlook Trumps caveats ... the ones that usually come at the end of a definitive statement and a lot softer than the controversial ones.

Such as:

“I going to build the best wall “and it will have a beautiful gate”.

On deportation of families and children “We’ll find ways to work with them”.

Read and listen. It’s fascinating seeing the details emerge but get nary a mention from the talking heads.

Yes, the left will like you to believe that Trump is Fascist. Don’t fall for it. It’s a perfect narrative for them.

Your talking as if Obama, Reid, Pelosi haven’t been running a fascist progressive state.

Everything you wrote there and all the “me too” that follow just ring hollow and like emerging talking points from Trump detractors. So excuse me if I say: You’ve triggered my bullcrap detector.

Trump wants to win to make America Great. The others just want to win because they’re professional political office seekers.

At this point in out country we need someone who can get the job done. I think it is time for a businessman to get a shot. Politicians can't do it. I have nothing against Cruz BUT he has zero accomplishments. He talks well, he is smart but fails and is ineffective when it comes to ANY results. Please list Cruz's accomplishments.

I think it is a natural reaction to the overreach of the Marxists. We want someone just as heavy handed to reverse all of the unconstitutional things that the federal government has done under Obama, and for many years before.

By the same token we should be wary of electing another tyrant, even if we think he is our tyrant. This is the point where we should employ judgment instead of vitriol.
