What's really crazy is how long the lead up to our elections are compared to other countries where they knock out the whole campaign part in a few months. Ted Cruz announced his presidential run in March of 2015. Twenty months of campaigning? That's insane.

It's comparing a method -- not the actual person.
However, when people ask "How could Hitler Happen?" We're seeing it right now.
Why is it that you are the only person that even comes close to understand my OP? That's pretty scary itself!
I learned to filter out everything, but the core.
To see the "base" without the frills.

She should have dumped Podesta as soon as he was revealed to be a liability like Manafort was to Trump. The guy got his email hacked and didn't change his iCloud password FFS. It boggles the mind.
As for the Clinton email server. Of course it was a bad idea (that she got from Colin Powell). Of course it was done to avoid transparency. Everyone knows that she made multiple false statements about said server. Nobody was happy with how there were no hard and fast dilineations between her, her state dept staff and the foundation.
I often wonder as people are painting the Clintons as supervillians, if they ever stop to consider that while some people would have you believe they've gotten away with like two dozen murders, they didn't kill one decommissioned email server.
Why not wipe it immediately, put it in "storage" somewhere and torch it? A tad disappointing.
The biggest problem I have with the FBI was the fiasco with Comey and the FBI office in NY. I really believe that Giuliani, Kallstrom or both were the Fox News "sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigation." I'm also wondering if the nature of this communication was such that they were persuading investigators? Whatever his actual role, I'd say Giuliani is tainted and it doesn't help that he's got a long history of saying "controversial things." He's a liability and he's massively unpopular with the the Left. Hopefully Trump doesn't appoint him AG. If it comes down to Rudy or Gowdy, go Gowdy.

Says someone rooting for proven corruption.
Thank you for your statement, but I know what decision I had.
Please don't misunderstand me. If you voted for Trump because he was against NAFTA that's a good vote.
But you have to admit the moment he started blaming a group of people like the immigrants or Muslims he was using proven techniques for acquiring power from low-brow voters.

oh gee what a surprise you show up.
Time for YOU to make a decision.
Pursue divisiveness based upon personal feelings, or move forward progressively and work together for a better outcome.
Ball in your court. (Not you specifically, your ideology)
I think you're confused on what the subject of this thread is.
I read a bunch of liberal nonsense referencing Hitler to Trump. Did we read different OP's?
Trump has a mesmerizing affect when speaking. It's the method described in the quote about narcissism.
But, reading the same speach in transcript he sounds like a 5 year old.
It's not a method that works on me because I am aware of it.
No different than Obama, on the campaign trail he often reminded me of a baptist preacher, as I mentioned in another post in this thread its part of the way people get elected.
...which is exactly how Trump got elected. The 'what' was easy. Thinking about the 'how' made people's heads hurt so they didn't let that trouble them.

So, you are preaching against hate and intolerance by being hateful and intolerant? Sounds about right for Anti-Trumpsters.

Thanks for the admission, we've watched you talk out both sides of your mouth for 12 months now, and then you admit you selectively cull what you want to use to fit your own narrative.
If Trump is comparable to Hitler then you Anne are comparable to a moron. Just saying!
