If you really want to stop Trump, unfortunately at this point the only thing you can do is hold your nose support Clinton. The time where we had any other options unfortunately has passed.
Before Hitler was around I wonder, who was used as the model of living evil.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Given that many believe Trump to be literally Hitler, bending the facts is a small price to pay to stop him.
Probably nobody who is against Trump is bending any facts to try to stop him. The only one who has no respect for reality is Trump himself.
Given the reality of 21st century electoral politics in the United States, I find it unsurprising, yet deeply disappointing all the same, that anyone actually believes this.
Trump supporter here. If Trump is not elected I will be very concerned for the future of this country. Not sure why any real American would not vote Trump.
Get this political crap off of HN
What's the point of writing this article now, after all of the legitimate candidates have fallen? What do you want us to do?
If Colin Powell were to run on an independent ticket, who would the best running mate for him?
He led us in to a war on BS. He has no chance and no base.
This certainly doesn't match what I've seen. All the people who think Trump is unfit seem perfectly willing to say so. All of the people who support him seem to be completely sincere in their belief that Trump would make a good president. I don't see anyone giving any indication that they think Trump shouldn't be president, but that they're afraid to say so. There is no "charade," as the author puts it. It's possible…
The issue is not the massive wave of ignorance and insecurity, the issue is that those people will procreate more ignorant and insecure people and the issue will never end.
We have a system where the well-thought vote of an educated person has the same value than the sensationalism-based vote of an ignorant and insecure person, the problem is that the educated people is getting outnumbered, so whoever manages to move the feelings of the ignorant and insecure people has the election already won...
Disappointed 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…
You also conveniently ignored the fact that Trump wants to ban about 1.2 billion people from entering the US because of their religion, and treat the Muslims already in the US as a fifth column similar to what the Nazis did with the Jews. How long before the frothing-in-the-mouth, 'patriotic', armed Trump goons commit a Kristallnacht against Muslims in the US? this is exactly where we're heading with a Trump presidency.
Frankly, it's disappointing that anyone with a sliver of intelligence can be fooled by this dangerous, reckless, and divisive figure. A figure that has made racism and misogyny acceptable to the masses, and, in the ominous words of the future dictator: "racial profiling is not the worst thing to do".
