Trump: I love all dictators. I take inspiration from them. I will make a great one in great USofA; possibly the greatest of all.

Yeah, I always wonder about the translation when seeing these comments. The nuances can get lost. Like by saying “absolute leader in the polls” it sounds sort of over the top or ominous, but maybe he meant “clear leader”.

Listening to Trump I get the notion Frank Luntz would make the final call on whether we engaged in a war somewhere.

How much lower than the sewer can Trump get?

“Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it’s an ethos!” One keeps hoping that this overblown bully will finally say or do something to demolish his “campaign,” but as Mencken noted, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

She hasn’t ?

I thought the same. He’s currently at 43%, slightly down from last month. At this point I believe his predecessor was at 29%.

Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski looked visibly confused.

Putin was just trying to say that Trump is a big personality. Russian scholars agree that Putin wasn’t especially trying to say anything good about him.

Spoke to a friend that lived in Russia for 15 years, as a global reporter and Russia expert. She said that putin is cagey enough to know that Americans do not think highly of him and are almost afraid of him as they are of ISIL…His fans would look at his endorsement as scary …He, Putin, would not want anyone as green and unpredictable as Dumpster in American office…
So he damns the dumpster with faint praise!

When Joe Scarborough is shocked by a Republican, then you know the train has jumped the tracks.

William F. Buckley Jr. was 100% correct before his death when he said that Bush & Cheney had destroyed the Republican Party. The Republican Party is a mish mash of right wing nuts feeding the paranoid white racist male population in the US.

The greatest threat to Trump and the rest of the clowns is EDUCATION - which explains why Republicans are trying to kill public education.

Now all the other GOP candidates will have to laud Putin, seeing as how Trump’s touting of Putin’s support will rally a few million more American Fascists to his side.

“I’ll deport Mexicans, ban Muslims AND fluff Putin, too!!!”

"If you want to make an omlette you gotta break a few eggs. And as a successful hotel owner in Atlantic City, my casinos always have had amazing breakfast buffets, so I know about breaking eggs!

Many of my friends are political critics. They have called me and many of them have said that Putin was right in killing his critics. They agreed with him. My friends who are critics have called me and told me that sometimes critics need to be assassinated."

Absurd!

There is nothing surprising here. The Republican Party would rather have a murderous dictator as a leader than a racial minority.

Trump’s followers will love this – because nothing spells FREEDOM more than a racist billionaire forging a personal alliance with a foreign dictator who assassinates his political rivals.

“At least he built the Autobahn.”

Trump loves Putin as a leader even though he has his critics killed, and he wishes Obama was more like Putin. So if I’m not mistaken, he’s basically asking Obama to have him killed. Nice logic there Donald.
