#1 I've not heard of any such 'secret meeting' to "stop" the Champ. Strange, very strange.

#2 I'm delighted to see Trump stir up the politicians. And the media. But if his negatives are so high, as I read here yesterday, the Beest might take it. Mrs. Bobby, no liberal by any stretch of the imagination, fears The Donald so much she just might vote for Hillary.

He's gonna hafta started acting more presidential before the election, and maybe the Pubs could help with that. But if he did, you'd have to be there, to see it live, because the press would never report it.

#3 What are they so afraid of?

#4  But if his negatives are so high, as I read here yesterday

Think about that. Who's writing it and who's pushing it for consumption. He's a demagogue, he's Hitler, he's a fascist, etc, etc, etc. What will he be next week. What personifications will they keep coming up with? Freudian projection on parade from real crony-capitalist fascists that have very serious interests in the power and money that have been centralized in their paws for the last several decades.

All the info mongers said he was suppose to fold in a month or two. So much for talking heads.

We're witnessing people crawling over broken glass and it panics the oligarchs and their retinues at St. Simon's Island.

#5 Trump will become a grandfather again(#3?) in the spring. That's an opportunity for the media to moderate his public behavior without changing the message. Look for clashing grandbabies soon there after.

#6 Not difficult to stop Trump. Just goad him into a third party run and you will have President Clinton.

#7 More likely the GOPe will go third party. Even though they have the infrastructure, if Trump shows up with even a good plurality and they dump him, they indeed become the third party.

#9 Procopius, open your eyes. They write about him being a fascist because he behaves like one. Ordering war crimes, for instance, and insisting the military will obey HIM and not the UCMJ or their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. And htat's just one example. And yes he tried to walk it back, but his first words show his instincts and (lack of) character. You might want to stop defending him on this unless you want people to think you support him because of his fascist tendencies.

And the negatives are a FACT - they are repeatedly verified by multiple statistically valid surveys - so are you just sitting there telling me "LALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU" when confronted with facts? Are you becoming a Trumpbot every bit in denial and willful ignorance as the Obamabots were back in 2008? Take a hard look in the mirror about what you are doing and who it shows you to be.

#10 What will he be next week.

A secret convert to Judaism?

#11 #9, who did you say your candidate is? The lady with her own email server?

#12 Back at the end of the 90s Apple computer was on the ropes. Desperate, they brought in Gil Amelio. Promised him a large golden parachute (because the turn-around job looked impossible) and set him lose to try to save the company. Now Gil was no savior, he didn't have what it took to recreate Apple but he was just the guy to stop the bleeding and take all the negatives for doing so. Then Jobs worked his way in and rebuilt the company.

Trump is no Jobs but he might be a Gil Amelio. At this point I'd settle with that.

#13 It drives me nuts the way people throw around the term "fascist". Fascism was specified by Mussolini.
In his own words it is:

Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity (11).

Now who in this election believes in and stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State???

Take your time it's not a hard question.

#14 Fascist is what we call people to the right of us, AC.

#15 So vote Cruz and stop worrying about what Trump would or wouldn't do. If Cruz wins the nomination, I believe Trump would do the right thing. If Trump wins the nomination and the party attempts to screw him out of it, he will retaliate--and should.

We either believe in the process or we don't.

Go Cruz!

#17 These people are what is wrong with the GOP

#18 Those people took control of the GOP and did what they wanted to. The voters caught on and they want to protect their position. They have long moved past the good of the nation, or even the good of the party.

#19 
For those you meet who don't know where fascism falls in the political spectrum, please tell them to take ten minutes of their lives to educate themselves by watching this video in order to save themselves from spending the rest of their lifetimes embarrassing themselves.

Then again, like the tree falling alone in the forest, are they embarrassed if they don't know what they are doing is embarrassing?

#20 Procopius, open your eyes.

My eyes are open. They observe that the 'Right' is as intolerant as the 'Left' when it comes to a democracy and the people. "The masses are unable to digest the 'evil' of the other guy and need to be ruled 'educated' for their own good." And if that means putting the fix in, so be it.

It's all illusion. All ritural and ceremony. The republic is dead. It's an oligarchy. Too much power and money have been concentrated. As the story reports, those having it are not going to give it up politely. Your real choice is Pompey, Caesar or Crassus.

#21 Facism has lost its original meaning. Nowadays it means anybody who did not drink the Koolaid.

#22 I'm still going through my memory of fascist leader who arose from the business class, particularly successful ones. Lots of crony capitalists at the trough, but not El Supremo. Mostly failed artists, newspaper men, poly sci students, community organizers, et al.

#23 Why I like Trump:
Obama hates him
The media hates him
The establishment republicans hate him
The establishment democrats hate him
The Mexican presidents hate him
The terrorists who want to migrate to America hate him
Mitch McConnell hates him
Mitt Romney hates him
The guys in private jets hate him
