    I believe if Trump wins he'll say that the two party system is broken and that Democrats and Republicans have steered us off the road. He'll say the way to make America great again is to get behind his plan. Then we'll spend 4 years trying to figure out what that is while hoping he has more Peron than Mussolini in him.

    It's possible that he's a Trojan Horse who will govern as an anti-Establishment President turning away from the worst of the impulses in both parties and trying to forge a middle way, but it's hard to see how he will get anything done in this political system if he does that and he's probably going to want to look like he's getting things done.

    His glad-handing the thugs at his rallies is not a good sign.

    Mussolini?

    I thought you said he was Hitler.

    Why not throw in Stalin too.

    And Pol Pot for hyperbolic good measure.

    You could vote for Hillary.

    All these guys here making these emotional condemnations of HRC, not based on policy, is embarrassing to us as men. Sack up and make your choices based on policies, not where you might be on the menstrual cycle. I mean really, if women talked about voting their emotions like that, well, we all know what would be said about it.

    Trump says no to next debate, has speech to do.

    Fox would be throwing everything at him so no point in doing it. They were so angry last night and opening talking about contested convention all night.

    Good move by him.

    Greatest line on the subject:

    Unfairly, socialism gets graded on its aspirations, while capitalism gets graded its performance.
    I hate to say, though, Trump does have a lot of the same sort of campy mannerisms that you see in old clips of Mussolini.

    The difference is, the delicate folk out there make the leap to say, "Ahah! See! He's a fascist dictator!" Me, I just think it's hilarious. He also wants to build a great big wall. Doesn't make him a chinaman.


    Whups. Sorry. Chinaman probably isn't the correct nomenclature.

    I wasn't making any type of judgment on Trump, I actually think he is a caricature of himself. It's why I haven't watched a second of any of the debates, Rep or Dem.

    I just enjoy pointing out Brad's hyperbole.

    Naw, I get it. Hyperbole: ain't no new shtick. 50 years ago, LBJ ran the Daisy Ad. Same thing, just a different cycle.

    There should be a drinking game with Trump...Where he makes a speech and you take a shot everytime he says

    "Disaster"
    "Trade"
    "China"
    "Believe Me"

    You may get drunk 10 minutes in.

    It makes him look more lame. He should be there and if he really is good at everything he does another debate should be no problem for him.

    Kasich said that he will not participate in the next debate unless Trump changes his mind. So, that leaves Cruz as the only attendee :)
