A lot of people think Cruz is going to pick up Trump/Carson's support once those nut jobs dump out.

Cruz also has a lot of cash behind him.

There's just so much restlessness and shouting, and awful things being suggested and applauded. I feel like this is how a lynch mob gets riled up before storming the jail.

Hitler didn't rise to power due to his own real conversion powers. He took advantage of a super lovely situation.

That's part of the reason why I am somewhat concerned about the whole default shenanigans. It'd be our own little Wiemar situation and there are more than enough racist shitfuckers in this country who would follow along with some actual savvy bastard (hint: Trump isn't all that savvy).

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...
So this hurricane is hitting Mexico and we don't even have an ambassador because Marco Rubio is holding up the process. He doesn't like the nominee because they support our detente with Cuba. Meanwhile there are going to be a ton of fatalities and even more people displaced and possibly looking to cross the border.

If Trump plays this right he could regain a lot of support not just with Hispanics but also with people who think he doesn't have heart, but he has to be careful. It's a high risk high reward situation that I'm not sure he wants to involve himself in this early in the race. He has a chance to show that he is more humane toward Hispanics than Marco Rubio himself though, so I think he should take the chance.

Yo dude, Hitler took advantage of a conservative junta who'd just about demolished democracy already, several years after the worst of things, while Germany was actually kinda recovering.

Germany had been governed by executive decree for quite a few months by the time they let Hitler take the chancellorship, and if they'd been just slightly smarter they'd have chosen another hard core right winger.
