Look at Trump and Bush's numbers... Holy poo poo.



Yeah, there is a reason he is panicking and fed that "no, really, we are going to win" piece to Costa & the WaPo

How are they getting those popularity numbers? The '16 ones look way too regular.

very few data points until the run up, just drawing linear connections between the ones there.

Anyone have any Trump assassination conspiracy theories?

In this creeping horror, Trump is Greg Stillson, not JFK

Will Ahmed Mohamed come up in the debate tonight?

Doubtful. It is a foreign policy debate and the questions will have been prepped out weeks ago

Welp

Also, while the last one was in front of 4,500 republicans from the general public, the audience for this one is a much smaller crowd of high end donors and republican "insiders"

A lot has been said about Carly's fascist ideas, but I'd just like to throw out that one of the last things Huckabee said that night was one of the most nakedly fascist things I've ever heard. The part about having a friendly society that "respects the police" and has a strong military specifically.

I was most put off by Christie's "it's not good enough to punish crimes after they happen, we need to punish crimes before they occur" bit personally

The definition of fascism is very broad and the adjective fascist is even broader.

It was also practiced rather differently under different rulers (eg Franco vs Hitler), making it a bit tricky to nail down even before the cultural use of the term comes in. It is probably more useful to differentiate the strains just like how communism you split between Marxism, Trotskyism, Leninist, Leninist-Stalinist, anarchist, etc
