Actually, he said he regretted stuff and pivoted, and is now likely to win.

You're right, I forgot.

Trump has more pivots than any other candidate, so he will win just based on pivots alone

Looking more into it, they're part of a new attempt to kickstart a neo-Nazi movement with the main networking heft being done by a group called Identity Evropa. It's pretty interesting structurally. Youth-oriented and horizontally distributed with the focus on specific cities. During the fall semester they plan to do coordinated flyering and leaflets on campuses, that sort of thing. Baby steps.

Mostly they find each other on Twitter and the invite-only TRS forum. Idea being to take the forumers and Twitter users and connect them at the local level and have them take it from there. Also, a very deliberate co-opting of left-wing language like "safe spaces" and "occupying space." Also a bit more ideologically flexible, although it's deffo a Nazi movement, but more flexible than say the National Alliance.

This is pretty interesting, do you have any more info? Preferably via some hatewatch groups? I work on a campus and would like to try and forward this info to the administration in case they start popping up here.

Looking at their site, Identity Evropa's, yeah it's straight up new wave white supremacist. Mentions HBD and everything.

I still think he's in a good position to make a run in 2020. If Trump loses by as much as it looks like he's going to lose by, we're going to see most Republicans with any kind of political aspirations sprinting away from him on November 9th. It'll be pretty easy for them to spin this election as "We lost because Trump is an idiot and also not a True Conservative," and conservative Republicans who refused to endorse him, like Cruz, stand to gain a lot of popularity after the party disavows Trump.

Lmao, but I mean groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center. They run a group called "HateWatch" that keeps an eye out for groups like this who try to hide white supremacy and bigoted ideology behind modern smoke screens.

It's just a bit new and SPLC doesn't really have anything on them specifically yet.

Eh, Cruz spent his entire time in public office attacking his own party for political gain. I'd be surprised it the RNC doesn't try to primary him out and otherwise blackball him.

Hillary is a near lock to win in 2020 due to incombatant advantage and the fact that her approval rating is always way higher when she's in office so any Republican opponent will just be throwing themselves into a buzz saw.

There's no way Cruz does anything on the national stage again. In addition to the inter-party relationshit, that core of voters does not forgive dissent easily. There's no way he wins a primary unless the rubio vote is split 4 ways.

Except the GOP base voters get to decide who runs in 2020 and at the rate we're going they'll pick the outsider candidate who promises to march the Lie-beral Media traitors that stole 2016 into the gas chambers.

"Sacrifices?!" Trump pivots in the door and just keeps pivoting, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. He pivots against your toilet, busting it up big time. You get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's pivoting at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. As he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "I've sacrificed so much, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down.

Speaking as a Florida native... you'd be kind of surprised, honestly. Hurricanes are fickle beasts that we're still not good at tracking or predicting. Usually, you get about two days warning of where a hurricane is likely to make landfall, and even that's basically educated guesswork. Hurricanes go wherever they drat well please.
