I still wonder if any large tech companies (Google, Apple, etc) will endorse against Trump before November. They did on Prop 8, and Trump will similarly have an immediate negative impact on many of their employees.

Demagogic hate-monger seems a little strong.
hatemonger: a person who kindles hatred, enmity, or prejudice in others
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
"In the Middle East, we have people chopping the heads off Christians, we have people chopping the heads off many other people. We have things that we have never seen before -- as a group, we have never seen before, what's happening right now. The medieval times -- I mean, we studied medieval times -- not since medieval times have people seen what's going on. I would bring back waterboarding and I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."
"I think Islam hates us. There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us."
I would say demagogic hatemonger is a perfectly accurate description of Donald Trump.

With regard to the intent, I think it's too weak, if anything. "Sociopathic demagogic hate-monger", maybe.
Terry Tao recently did a post on the trump situation: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2016/06/04/it-ought-to-be-com... It is time to get serious.
Also the Rubin Report has been right in the thick of it, also another great source of non-mainstream coverage: https://www.youtube.com/user/RubinReport
It seems that sama needs to listen to the Nixon tapes.

I really hope you're taking issue with some subtle issue with the phrasing, rather then the intent. With regard to the intent, I think it's too weak, if anything. "Sociopathic demagogic hate-monger", maybe.

>It isn't that it's pro-Trump, it's that it's pure politics. Such posts always get heavily flagged, and it's hard to disagree with that, since they're typically not posted to gratify intellectual curiosity.
>Basic Income stories are political, but they aren't purely political. There's an intellectual interest in thinking about and debating such a major social change. Political horse race stories are the opposite.
> He has said that a judge of Mexican descent couldn’t treat him fairly because of his heritage and that we should ban Muslims from entering the country.
He said that a judge of Mexican descent isn't treating him fairly, and that it is probably because of his heritage. That's very different from saying that the judge can't treat him fairly because of his heritage. How could someone with Sam's command of language and attention to detail not see the difference? And where was the condemnation of the Obama admin when they tried to prohibit an Iranian-American judge from presiding over Iranian immigration cases?
> He has accused Obama of somehow being responsible for the recent shooting in Orlando.
The WP originally ran this headline and changed it because it was such a wild inference from what he actually said.
