Last week in New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidate John Kasich gave what many considered a gracious speech. He had just finished second, keeping his dim campaign hopes alive. The Ohio governor congratulated Donald Trump on his victory and then went on to talk about his own vision for America. It boiled down to the fundamental conservative doctrine of government as a last resort and the need to make sure no American is left behind.
But then he said something curious. He said on that night in New Hampshire the country had turned a page in what he called a dark period in America. It was a beautiful thought, indeed, but disconnected from the reality unfolding around him. He seemed to forget Mr. Trump, the winner that night by a large margin, was continuing to turn his long-shot campaign into a sure thing. The polls show that he is ready to trounce his opponents in South Carolina.
Mr. Trump, who was underestimated by nearly every political pundit, is very likely to win the Republican nomination â though there are still pundits proclaiming him dead in the water. If they were honest they would say the truth, the thing they most fear: that at this moment he is the presumptive Republican nominee. And to my way of thinking the dark period that Mr. Kasich hopes is gone is just getting started in earnest.
Mr. Trump represents the darkest side of America. His platform consists of identifying the âotherâ and then bragging about how he will deal with this nearly mystical threat to the American people. When this sort of thing happens in Europe there is always talk of a right-wing resurgence and memories of Nazism and fascism. It is seen as a return to a darker age, and with good reason.

Why would you post Leftist Propaganda?
Sorry, I was unaware that leftist propaganda wasn’t to be discussed on this site. Thank you for instructing me otherwise.
Know your enemies...
GO TRUMP!
What a dumbarse ... what's your motto idiot? Make America Suck More?
Trump is the light. This country has been in the darkness for the past 100 years. We had things just about right in the early 1900s. Then, the progressives came along.
Now: In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in January, Trump said, "I'm pro-life and I have been pro-life." He said he believed there should be exceptions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.
Now: At the 2015 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum, Trump said if he became president, "the 2nd Amendment will be totally protected." He told the Web site Ammoland he does "not support expanding background checks" and said current background checks "don't work."
Now:Â On NBC on Wednesday, he called Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation" and said she would be "a terrible president."
Now:Â Has been a registered Republican since 2009.
There are also some flips which haven't necessarily been from left to right.
Now:Â On Fox News's "On The Record" this week, he called Bush "pathetic" for his support of Common Core, said his immigration views were "baby stuff."
All the high minded rhetoric and noble posturing is meaningless to a voter who just found out his company is shipping his job to Mexico, or a mother sending her kids to a gang infested public school or a business person facing losing their life’s work due to an expanded Federal regulatory burden.
Deeds not words.
Look at this. Cruz has darkness over his campaign..

This article represent the complete disassociation of a bubble world “intellectual” with the history of Fascism, the US Political system and the current state of politics in the USA.
It is ignorance, wrapped in idiocy surrounded by stupidity. It is the worst of of emotion based pseudo intellectual bubble world drivel.
Goodwin's Law. Drink.
DJT is a profanity spewing purveyor of zany conspiracy theories not unlike Jesse Ventura, Rosie O’Donnell, and Michael Moore.
His followers are unquestioning sycophants, a legion of mental defectives who willingly imbibe his bullying, threats, insults and demagoguery. IT IS TRULY A PATHETIC SPECTACLE.
I've been saying that for a while now. WW1 was the death-knell of the Republic, IMHO.
Liberalism is the stupidity of America’s present.
Know your enemies...
Yes, it’s absolutely necessary.
Nazism?
