The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[falafel]

According to the FB feeds of people in my ward, it looks like Glen Beck AND Donald Trump were hanging out at our neighborhood precinct last night. Seems weird. Aren't there rules against on site campaigning at precincts? Or do those not apply to caucuses?

I heard the same thing from someone who lives up by you.

[Commando]

Glenn Beck. Stop being annoying, dude. Could you imagine him cornering you and going full pitch for Cruz? Marking up a white board, throwing in some D&C, maybe tearing up a bit.. ugh. All I would say is that Cruz has been calling DACA an 'amnesty.'

"We're going to bring in so much money and so much everything, we're going to make America great again." Can't wait to get me some everything!

I am reading about the history of Nazi Germany. Currently in the section on Hitler's rise to power in the the early 1920's. Noticed a few things:

1) One of his central messages was to make Germany great again (and safe).
2) Following the Germany defeat in WW1, another central theme was restoring an attitude of winning.
3) Constantly talked about the negative influence of foreigners and immigrants in Germany.
4) His message resonated with the angry working class. Educated people were mostly against him.
5) At the early Nazi rallies, protesters would show up and shout and disturb the events. Some of the attendees beat the protestors up and Hitler approved. Based on this approval, a group of thugs formally organized to beat up protesters at subsequent rallies. This group later became the SA (storm troopers).

Now before you go all Godwin's Law on me, I do not consider Trump to be anywhere near the threat that Hitler was. Just found the parallels interesting.

I think they both do and did combovers too.

I think the comparisons to Andrew Jackson are more apt.

Ha! Good one.

Yeah, lots of parallels there too. In either case, it is classic populism.

But Trump's teeth are way more weird than Hitler's.

Trump would be the first president who participated in Wrestlemania:

Hey wait a minute. Jackson also had goofy hair. What is it with populists and bad hair?

This looks like great Facebook troll bait.
