#22If Colin Powell were to run on an independent ticket, who would the best running mate for him?
Re: Trump
#23I 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.
Actually not. AFAIK, most Chinese H1B holders working in FLAG (Facebook, Linkedin, Amazon and Google) are either actively support Trump or strongly against Clinton. From their perspective, Trump is against illegal immigration while protect legal immigration visa holders.
But from the company perspective, it's another story.

#25While I think Trump is a bad choice, I think comparing him to Hitler is overzealous and irresponsible. There are no doubt similarities between the two but Hitler wrote an entire book about the "Jewish Peril" and how it was destroying society and needed to be dealt with. It was clear that Hitler had an agenda that was anti-semetic, and the charisma/ability to execute on it. Trump is a racist and a bigot, but he is far from someone that would be able to implement a "Final Solution". By drawing the comparisons to Hitler, we oversell Trump and what he is and at the same time bring Hitler and his actions to a lower level which they never be at. We should sell Trump for what he is: someone who uses the racism and ignorance of the American people to cover up the fact that he has no idea what he is doing.

#26Another liberal who hasnt understand Trump's appeal in the slightest. How you can put "political correctness is bad" and then say literally 2 sentences after that "he is a racist and a misogynist"
I mean the level of brainwashing is amazing.

#27Demagogic hate-monger seems a little strong.
Hardly. Demagoguery appeals to people's emotions and prejudices, rather than rational argument. There can be no doubt that Trump takes exactly such an approach. And he has vocally encouraged violence and identified specific groups to serve as targets, based on race and religion. That description is entirely apt.

#28Demagogic hate-monger seems a little strong.
demagogue: a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument 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'…
Are there any non-demagogue politicians, then? Successful ones, I mean.

#29Disappointed to see Sam repeat things that are plainly false. Everyone says that Trump says such horrible things, but why is it that so often those same people have to misquote him to make it seem horrible? > 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…
Given that many believe Trump to be literally Hitler, bending the facts is a small price to pay to stop him.
Re: Trump
#30It's funny how candidates can just state problems to get people excited (e.g. Bring jobs back to America, We're getting screwed by the system, Break up the banks, etc.), and yet most people care so little about the solutions.
