Don,

I&#039;m not &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;
disillusioned, just super busy at the moment. Will chew on it and revert, probably with some questions. 

Fight the Power, Comrade!</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Simply point to an attribute of Donald Trump that is SOLELY shared with Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany and no one else..&lt;/b&gt;

While this would be impossible, as there are no singularities in psychology, I will point out one similarity that Trump and Hitler share that no recent US President shared with either of them:

Hitler and Trump are both narcissistic psychopaths. They both viewed themselves as being the only ones that could lead the country, they were the only ones who could make their nation prosper; THEY WERE THEIR NATION!   Loyalty to country meant loyalty to them.   

You prove this point everytime you refer to us as “Trump/America haters”!   

You said that both Trump and Hitler were great speakers; but that’s not even close to true — Trump speaks in babbling word salads most rallies.   No, Trump and Hitler are great motivators and manipulators.</description>

		<description>Maybe it has to do with the consequence that Florida doesn&#039;t vote until later in March after Super Tuesday... But the only candidates I have heard from here in North Florida so far, multiple times in fact, either in TV ads, by flyers in the mail, and by text messages from Social Media, are Bloomberg and Sanders. 

My pwn personal opinion is that it is going to come down to a choice between Sanders and Biden, and possibly Bloomberg, as they are the only ones getting significant minority support. I would also not rule out Bernie winning a general election, given the impressive ground based organization he is building and the enthusiasm of his supporters. Same for Bloomberg, IF he does well on Super Tuesday, or if not, he swings his organization and money behind the Democratic candidate like he said he would.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Facts to support?? &lt;/i&gt;

Sorry if the facts don&#039;t fit your pathetic worldview, but here we are. 

&lt;i&gt;Just more fear-mongering.. &lt;/i&gt;

You go with that theory, dumb-ass. 

Meanwhile, anyone with two brain cells to rub together and the ability to read between the lines, you&#039;ve been notified. I do sincerely wish you well.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;New York City and liberal states including New York, Washington, Massachusetts and Connecticut sued the government, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York backed them — ordering the money be released and stopping the government from putting immigration-related conditions on grants.

But the appeals court ruled that it “cannot agree that the federal government must be enjoined from imposing the challenged conditions on the federal grants here at issue.”

“These conditions help the federal government enforce national immigration laws and policies supported by successive Democratic and Republican administrations,” the court ruled. “But more to the authorization point, they ensure that applicants satisfy particular statutory grant requirements imposed by Congress and subject to Attorney General oversight.”

It also disagreed with the district court’s claim that the conditions intrude on powers reserved only to states, noting that in immigration policy the Supreme Court has found that the federal government maintains “broad” and “preeminent” power.&lt;/B&gt;

When it comes to immigration law, President Trump reigns supreme...

Once again.. Ya&#039;all were wrong..

And I was dead on ballz factually accurate..  :D</description>

		<description>Further, I am sure if I gave it half an effort, I can find some black Americans who supported Obama AND supported the Nazi genocide of Jews...

Does that mean that a similarity between the Obama campaign and Nazis warrants a mention???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If someone reacts positively to people literally carrying swastikas, that&#039;s a connection to Nazis even if there are other people who also have reacted positively to people literally carrying swastikas.&lt;/I&gt;

Uh.... OK....

Fair enough.. So all you have to do is find someone within the Trump campaign who actively campaigned on reacting positively to carrying swastikas...

I mean, turn it around.

		<description>DH

&lt;I&gt;Why does it have to be shared between Trump and the Nazis and no one else?&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s my point..

There is nothing comparable between Trump and the Nazis exclusively..

So ANY kind of comparison is not meant to actually bring facts into the open, but rather to simply shock and demonstrate the depth of hatred that people feel towards President Trump..

Basically, it&#039;s &lt;B&gt;&quot;I hate President Trump as much as I hate Nazis, so you KNOW I hate President Trump a lot!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt; type of thing..</description>

		<description>I slogged through this abortion of a debate. I agree that there was no game changing moment or moments amidst the caucaphony.

The loser was CBS. The so-called moderators truly sucked, the questions added nothing in the way of illumination and it was a wasted two hours. And I&#039;m a politics junkie!

The only thing I&#039;m likely to remember from last night was how irritated I was by Joe Biden&#039;s decision to sound angry and loud every time he opened his mouth. I was also underwhelmed by some of the &quot;contestants&quot; seeming lack of substance.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;you&#039;re looking at this the wrong way&lt;/I&gt;

You mean, I am not looking at it the way you need me to look at it in order to make your point.

Agreed.. :D

&lt;I&gt;what makes donald a reasonable comparison with hitler is not any one specific thing he does that&#039;s different from anyone else, it&#039;s a list of eight or nine things, all of which line up neatly in a comparison of campaign strategy. it&#039;s never been just one thing, it&#039;s a long list of things.&lt;/I&gt;

I am only asking for one..

One thing that is common to Nazis and Donald Trump that is not shared by any other candidate or government official..

Just one..

&lt;I&gt;fortunately, there are also many important differences. nonetheless, enough of those similarities line up to make a valid comparison.&lt;/I&gt;

A valid comparison to ANYONE who has ever motivated a large group of people..

I could find an equal number of comparisons that line up between George Washington and the Nazis...

Or Abraham Lincoln and the Nazis..

That doesn&#039;t mean the comparisons are fair or indicative of anything other than hatred and bigotry..</description>

		<description>@dan,

agree partially that winning a primary doesn&#039;t necessarily translate to winning a general election. however, underperforming your poll numbers in a primary could mean vulnerabilities that aren&#039;t apparent on the surface, and which might or might not translate from primaries to the general. in biden&#039;s case, his staff did a terrible job preparing their infrastructure in iowa, and it cost him big. that&#039;s something that has to happen in every election, or it&#039;s curtains. warren built outstanding infrastructure and still came in third in iowa, so there may be something else weighing on her.

&lt;i&gt;America leads best not by the example of its power but rather by the power of its example.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s a good line.  I think it would be better without the word &quot;rather&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;the candidates just engaged in a free-for-all shouting match where it was impossible to hear what any one of them had to say.&lt;/i&gt;

I stopped watching after a little while.  This was a big part of the reason.

Someone needs to take away control of these events from the whatever Don King wannabees are setting the rules now, and insist that things be set up so that the moderators can only turn on one microphone at a time, and any candidate who speaks out of turn will be moving their mouth silently as far as the viewers are concerned.  After one candidate does a goldfish impression on national TV and gets pegged with a label over it, the others will start taking turns. Instead of having to unlearn the lessons of kindergarten in order to get a word in.

&lt;i&gt;And it&#039;s really hard to attack him for being the &quot;most unelectable&quot; when he has been winning all the elections so far&lt;/i&gt;

Again, this makes no sense.  &quot;Electable&quot; means that someone will make a good impression on the people who supposedly decide the outcome of the general election: a tiny number of no-college white guys in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, who won&#039;t start paying attention to the campaign for another seven or eight months.  Winning a Democratic primary doesn&#039;t tell you anything about that.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;A Bernie slayer fails to emerge at Tuesday&#039;s debate

None of his rivals had the time or the skill to convince voters that the democratic socialist is a radical who would ensure Trump&#039;s reelection.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Democrats had two chances to halt Bernie Sanders’ march toward the nomination after his triumph in Nevada: Tuesday night’s Democratic debate and the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Now, they’re down to the South Carolina primary.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/26/bernie-sanders-slayer-failed-debate-117660

It&#039;s prediction time..

Bernie might actually win SC thereby sealing Joe Biden&#039;s fate..

Even if Biden eeks out a win, it won&#039;t be a substantial enough win to save his campaign..

Interesting footnote..

IF Joe Biden eeks out a first place win in SC, it will be his FIRST Primary win... EVER...

That&#039;s a pretty sad commentary on Joe Biden&#039;s life, even if he can limp past SC into Super Tuesday...</description>

		<description>One of the hallmarks of Hitler&#039;s campaign was that Hitler was a great speaker who could rally millions..

Donald Trump shares that attribute with Hitler...

In THAT, there is a valid comparison...

But Obama was ALSO a great speaker who could rally millions...

So, it&#039;s ALSO a valid comparison to compare Obama to Hitler in that context..

But is it a FAIR comparison??

No it is not..

Neither is it with Donald Trump...</description>

		<description>In short, to even MENTION Hitler and the nazis, who were responsible for 85 MILLION deaths, in the same sentence or context as President Donald Trump??

At BEST, it cheapens and nullifies ANY argument that is made..

It&#039;s like saying Obama had a muslim father and therefore is no different than muslim terrorists who have killed millions of innocent men, women and children..

It&#039;s a ludicrous claim intimated by a totally unfounded connection..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; My point is that the phenomena of his popularity and propaganda have been managed in a way not seen since ww2 Germany. Isn&#039;t it possible to simply notice the similarities?&lt;/I&gt;

Of course there are similarities...

But what you refuse to acknowledge is that there are similarities with OTHER campaigns as well.. Barack Obama&#039;s 2008 campaign for example..

Basically, you are cherry picking attributes and claiming that they are exclusive to Donald Trump and Nazi Germany..

And THAT is bullshit..

But hay.. I am *ALWAYS* open to being proved wrong.. 

Simply point to an attribute of Donald Trump that is SOLELY shared with Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany and no one else..

If you can do that, then you MIGHT have a case to make..

If you can&#039;t, then it&#039;s apparent that the comparison shows the depth of the hatred against Donald Trump as opposed to any real and meaningful connection between the two..

To put it in some context, find the most colossal and utterly moronic screw-up in all of history and claim that THAT shares similarities with Hillary Clinton&#039;s campaign because Hillary lost..

You are trying to fit a round peg in a square hole...

It&#039;s like Sanders saying that there were some good things about the Castro revolution and implying that we should emulate it..

You find some ambiguous and common similarities between Trump and Hitler (they are both men, they are both human, they both talk too much, etc etc) that are shared amongst thousands if not MILLIONS of other people and imply that Trump = Hitler...

I know that&#039;s not what you are saying..

But, since Hitler is this planet&#039;s worst monster in all of human history, simply MENTIONING commonalities is to make the implication..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And you REALLY wonder why you Democrats are being thrown out of government???

It&#039;s THAT exact elitist and woefully pathetic attitude that is why...&lt;/I&gt;

Nazi/Hitler comparisons are really the bottom of the barrel in expressing beet-red hysterical hate.

If Democrats have to stoop THAT low to express their irrational and hysterical hate of President Trump??

I would say that says a LOT more about Democrats than it does about President Trump...</description>

		<description>JL,

&lt;I&gt;i almost hate to mention it, but guess who else was loyal to their man, even years after his party, his country, his continent and himself were all ashes.&lt;/I&gt;

Ahhhh I get it now..

So, what you are saying is that President Trump is Hitler and those who support President Trump are as bad as the Nazis who supported Hitler..

Hmmmmmmm

And you REALLY wonder why you Democrats are being thrown out of government???

It&#039;s THAT exact elitist and woefully pathetic attitude that is why...

It&#039;s easy to see why you hated to say it out loud..

Perhaps you should have gone with your first instinct...

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....    :^/</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;A Democratic primary riddled with chaos is a dream come true for President Trump. The president stands as the leader of a unified Republican Party and can take credit for policies that have created a booming economy and record-low unemployment rates.

The president will continue raising money and adding to his monumental list of accomplishments throughout the spring as Democratic candidates still in the race inflict deep political wounds on each other that will be tough to recover from.

President Trump – the ultimate political outsider – was once again the winner in Tuesday’s Democratic debate. The president’s optimistic vision for the future and his America First policies are helping all Americans realize their dreams – and the Democratic presidential wannabees have absolutely no answer for the successes Trump has achieved.&lt;/B&gt;

This is the reality that the Demcorat Party faces...

Democrats simply have no path to victory.. Either in winning the White House or holding on to the House...

It&#039;s simply that Democrats have NO WAY to get there from here..

Democrats best course of action would be to cede 2020 and plan for 2024 when, hopefully (for Dims) Americans will have forgotten the complete and utter disaster that is today&#039;s Democrat Party...</description>

		<description>Oh Joe, Joe... Say it ain&#039;t so..

&lt;B&gt; “150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on. Carnage on our streets.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Joe Biden

While not pick on Joe specifically, this is a problem with hysterical Trump/America hating Democrats.

They pull &quot;facts&quot; out of their ass that has NO BEARING on reality...</description>

		<description>And ANOTHER reason why Bernie won&#039;t be POTUS..

&lt;B&gt;“I happen to believe that what our foreign policy in the Middle East should be about is absolutely protecting the independence and security of Israel, but you cannot ignore the suffering of the Palestinian people.  We have got to have a policy that reaches out to the Palestinians and the [Israelis]. And in answer to your question, that will come within the context of bringing nations together in the Middle East.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Bernie Sanders

The &quot;suffering&quot; of the Palestinian people is SOLELY and COMPLETELY the fault of those same Palestinian people..

It&#039;s is the Pali&#039;s support and use of terrorism that is the root cause of all their &quot;suffering&quot;...

They could live in peace side by side with Israel if they would just be content to live in peace side by side with Israel..

But they opt for terrorism..

And so their &quot;suffering&quot; is of their own making..

It really is that simple..</description>

MC,

&lt;I&gt;Yep. I kinda feel sorry for the guy. Desperately trying to get a reaction out of people. I mean, what a sucky lifestyle choice. It&#039;s ironic that Michale is the one suffering from &quot;Trump Derangement Syndrome,&quot; not us, because he&#039;s the one with the mancrush on Cheetogod
, not the rest of us.&lt;/I&gt;

I wonder if you and the crack whore can appreciate the fact that, since ya&#039;all are always talking about me, by your OWN standards, it&#039;s I who have residence in ya&#039;all&#039;s head..  :D

I find that.. hilarious.. :D

		<description>Chris,

&lt;I&gt;Joe Biden tried hard to appear as the most presidential one on the stage, as he always does. I don&#039;t know that it did him any more good tonight than previously.&lt;/I&gt;

Seriously? You don&#039;t think that this was his best &#039;fake debate&#039; performance? I must disagree - he showed clear signs of the Biden I have come to know over the last few decades.

I know … you must have been getting up quite a bit for snacks or something and just missed the parts where Biden actually looked presidential. That must be it, right?

Hmmm … guess I&#039;ll have to check some other analyses as I am a bit biased ...</description>

<p>Hmmm … guess I'll have to check some other analyses as I am a bit biased ...</p>

		<description>I&#039;m disappointed Biden hasn&#039;t used my favourite quote of him, in any number of variations. But, I guess it will have more punch when used in the general. Ahem.

America leads best not by the example of its power but rather by the power of its example.</description>

		<description>CW: &lt;i&gt;When they woke up and remembered to, I should say, because at several extended times during the night I thought the moderators had completely left the room for a coffee break. It certainly seemed that way, since the candidates just engaged in a free-for-all shouting match where it was impossible to hear what any one of them had to say. This wasn&#039;t an isolated incident, it happened over and over again. &lt;/i&gt;

Haven&#039;t watched it yet, but it sounds exactly like the comments section of your blog where the same trolls continue their repetitive shit unabated over and over again. Annoying, was it?</description>
