dude, this is going to happen to anyone running this platform. He isn't bought off like Sanders, yes he is, Clinron, or Cruz. He # aound and put some thing right economocally. The biggest issue is letting corporation make so much money by moving out of the country. He'll change that to a small degree, then move on the real issue which is taxing businesses.

Trump is actually a nationalist. I'd also argue a nationalistic attitude is exactly what this country needs right now and it's exactly what Europe should have had before letting in all the refugees which are tearing those countries apart.
What we're seeing from the left however, from Shillary and Bernie falls much closer to communism. What we're seeing by protesters at Trump rallies, the intent to shut down the 1st amendment rights of Americans to meet on private property, supported by both Shillary and Bernie are communist tactics used before throughout world history.
That the Bernie supported rioters are stomping on American flags and wearing shirts which say "F*** Amerikkka" while trumping on the 1st amendment rights of Americans shows how anti-American they are at their core.
Our forefathers would be rolling over in their graves at such anti-American sentiment being not only accepted but celebrated. That the left feels they have the right to do that while negating the rights of others to want to protect our borders and concentrate on improving the lives of Americans here, not immigrants from elsewhere is simply amazing. That the left will congregate and use tactics which will get your head chopped off in nations they also support is the height of hypocrisy. That they also constantly defend Islam and women's rights while in many Islamic countries women have next to no rights and need to remain covered just to avoid getting raped, is also the height of hypocrisy.
If these leftists tried these same tactics in Saudi Arabia, or Syria, or Iran, or even in the US backed Israel where Christianity has been under threat for decades, among a number of other nations their attitudes would change will quickly. Much of the left's attitude and bravado comes from insulation and isolation which affords that level of ignorance.
God, I agree with everything you have said, I just wish we had a better guy than Trump representing this platform.
No, Donald Trump isn’t a fascist. And the efforts of a considerable number of columnists, reporters, and even university professors to make him out to be a second Hitler or Mussolini testifies, I think, to their ignorance about fascism.
I’m not a Trump fan at all, but calling him a “fascist” distorts the history of the last century. If you’re looking for real fascists in the modern world, you’ll do better looking at the jihadis, who believe they’ve been tricked into previous defeats, unleash slaughter on those who oppose them, seek to dominate the world, and destroy free societies. Trump’s not one of those.

Fascist is soooo overused. Why don't we consult an expert. HISTORIAN Michael Ledeen studied Italian Fascism.

So, here we have an Historian that studied Italian fascism. He's not a Trump fan and he disagrees with all the "Trump is a Fascist" idiocy.

A statement is not a fact?
No, every statement is not a fact, for heaven's sake.
Statement: The Moon is made of green cheese.
That is a statement; it is not a fact.
As to the rest of it ... offer us some PROOF of your claims; if not they're your opinions.
Nothing wrong with opinions, but they are not facts.
The semantic ploy "but it is a fact that I have an opinion" is circular.

Because the realities are simply an exact match to the thoughts?
Which ones? The ones Trump says or the ones he says after retracting the original statements?

More votes for Trump.
How would those things give him more votes?
