By far the best part of this scenario would be three person general election debates with Trump pissed at the GOP nominee for beating him.

I wonder how far back you have to go in American history to find another example of a presidential frontrunner openly espousing rhetoric as vicious and hateful as the sort of stuff Trump is saying now. Any historical exports want to weigh in here?

This is what is so great about Trump. For years people like Huckabee, Cruz and Rubio have been elected to office saying the same things as Donald Trump but using obfuscation and dog whistle language. Trump just came along and said exactly what every Republican voter was thinking, and now the other candidates are caught in this weird place where they have to support and embrace his ideas while at the same time denouncing him; and I don't see it working anytime soon.

I always love that Gore is the go to guy for the Climate Change Denial guys.

Because nobody gives a poo poo about Gore's views, we're more interested in the NOAA/IPCC/NASA/EPA/etc.

I think due to conservatives' love and need of a powerful leader figure, they just assume that liberals need and want that too.

I would say that as far as there is a Climate Change Pope, it's Al Gore. He's by far the most recognizable figure in the environmentalism movement today.

BUT since the GOP has become a cult of rotating personalities, they assume that's how everyone is and extrapolate that we all must worship Gore as much as they worship whichever demagogue almost said the n-word this week.

No I think we meant it the same way. It'd be even worse than Israel, because while the Jews are just there to rebuild the temple, a Christian State in Jerusalem means that Yeshua bin Yusef is back, and he's all out of loaves and fish.
