It's easier to find an important public figure that has NOT been likened to Hitler for some action or other.



I think people get confused with the comparison to Hitler's rise to power and what he did with it. No question Trump's campaign resembles Hitler's rise to power (though there are plenty of differences). What he would do with it is a separate issue imo.

This won't be the last Trump rally to go like this though. He'll have to avoid any major cities north of the Mason-Dixon line if he doesn't want it to happen again.

ROFLMAO @ "thugs who stopped Trump's rally" I guess since it wasn't just some young women he couldn't show his superior strength... Or go out into the crowd punching protesters like he'd like to do.

Hitler banned guns


No he didn't.

And yet a poll last month showed over 6/10 democrat voters think PC has gone too far.You lost this one bro.

So Hitler took all guns (and knives, aces, bows etc) off the Jewish people.Then killed 6 million of them after disarming them.Great argument for gun control....

Hearing reports of a BLM thug firing an uzi into the air after Trumps rally was cancelled.Plus record number of shootings in Chicago the past year.Good to see those tough gun laws are working in the city.

Pretty sure the same results would have happened if the 60s during the civil right movement. Or if the question was "has Sanders gone to far left?" Loaded questions in polls are pretty dumb.

Edit: love the stories of anti trump protesters firing anti tank weapons into the air and threating the supporters with death rays. Very believable.

Trump was finally stumped.


Trump has no plan. He can't help himself. He can't act like an unifier even if he wanted to. Trump is going to be Trump, insult everyone, and bite the hand that feeds him.

Violence at his events, if he is to blame or not doesn't matter, isn't going to convince the majority of voters that now feel like they would never vote for him.

Even right now, only a minority of republicans vote for him.

http://www.phillyvoice.com/nj-poll-americans-are-too-politically-correct/

150 years ago, claiming that Black men were not inferior to White men was not politically correct. Claiming that women were responsible enough to have some independance towards their husbands was not politically correct. 600 years ago, claiming that the earth revolved around the sun was not politically correct. etc
What do you have to say about this?

Besides, what is this poll supposed to show? People's opinion on random stuff is often worthless.

I just like how the cops threw Trump under the bus and said they didn't even speak to him let alone suggest he call off the rally.

Not that trump being caught in a lie will dissuade any of his support. Might inadvertently put Trump supporters and BLM supporters on the same side of not being fans of Chicago PD though?

Damn Hillary is having a rough couple days, first the AIDS comment, now she's got black folks upset with her response to Trump's rally. Lucky for her, Florida is full of elderly people.

In other news, suck it, John Husted.

Seventeen-year-olds who will turn 18 before the fall presidential election can vote in Ohio's presidential primary, a judge ruled Friday in a potential boost for Democrat Bernie Sanders as he fights to open elections across the country to the young people who are among his key supporters.

The judge's decision reversed instructions from the swing state's election chief just days before Tuesday's primary and amid early voting. Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted initially vowed to appeal the ruling, then opted not to fight it after a state appeals court set a hearing for Monday.

Husted said the timing would give his office "no effective way to responsibly make the changes necessary to implement an orderly election." He directed the state's 88 county elections boards Friday night to comply with the order.

"This last minute legislating from the bench on election law has to stop," he said.

Like other Ohioans, the 17-year-olds must already be registered to vote to cast a primary ballot. Nearly 7.6 million Ohioans are registered to vote, including more than 16,000 17-year-olds, according to Husted's office.

Shouldn't walk around looking all invadeable if you don't want to get invaded.

But seriously, I can understand many Trump supporters, but people ignoring him just outright lying is confounding to me. Particularly when his honesty/straightforwardness are some of the most frequently mentioned reasons for supporting him.
