In many ways Walker's appeal is just a more publicly acceptable version of Trump's - the same sort of people who think that money, business and unrestricted capitalism are great and signs of personal worth but who haven't embraced it enough to mock POWs.

i guess i can see that but you can't do "Trump only edited for TV audiences" because Trump's whole schtick is that he is the modern caligula/king henry VIII and without the insane intensity, you're just a boring white (wealthy) businessman. it's the same reason Trump can't ever turn the insanity down from 11 because the instant he does that he stops being larger than life and becomes a mortal and everyone can dog pile him like they only wish they could right now

That's the third dumb as gently caress politico story I've read this week, also the third politico link I've clicked this week. Hmm.

They're one very small step to the right of the American center. Generally not too bad, as long as you keep that in mind.

Caligula had a medical condition and plenty of legitimate causes for paranoia. If you're going for a Julio-Claudian analog to trump, it really must be Nero.

That comparison is really disparaging to Crassus imo

Crassus was a successful businessman. Though I do look forward to Trump's disastrous personal invasion of Iran.

i just meant more in terms of insane excess than some kind of specific historical link. to me, Trump's proclivity to plaster his name in golden, 400 point font across everything, including potentially some kind of government building, is similar to caligula promising to make his horse a senator

Crassus made his millions through buying buildings which were burning down and also went on a failed military adventure because he wanted respect.

I'm savoring every minute of naive liberals savoring every minute of Donald Trump pimp-slapping the GOP and the establishment candidates in the primary race.

You fools actually want him to win because of your adorable little belief that things will be different in the general election, and that your precious little party and precious little candidates like Shillery or crazed hippie grandpa won't suffer the same fate.

Imagine Donald Trump's gold-plated soles stomping on your eventual candidate's face, forever.

"Rick Perry is an idiot" and "Who the hell can vote for Jeb Bush" will be replaced with "Hillary Clinton is the worst secretary of state ever and also for sale, I would know, I've bought and paid for her in the past" and the vast majority of voters that don't watch Fox News OR MSNBC, don't read Drudge OR Huffpo, and don't vote exclusively for either party's POTUS candidates every 4 years will eschew voting for the lying, pantsuit-wearing, shrill old granny in favor of the brash star of one of their favorite reality TV shows they watch instead of the news, who gets their juices flowing by crapping all over his politician opponent and saying exactly what is on his mind, especially when its something controversial.

They'll come for the spectacle, and they'll pay with their votes on election day.

Bernie is never going to make it to the main race because every house wife is voting for Hillary in the primaries to show their husbands how important women are.
