Whoaaaaab Ted Cruz: I am not gonna "come like a servile puppy dog" if you call my wife ugly and my dad a murderer.

Cruz has gone rogue!

Because the democratic process.

I always hear "it's democracy", "freedom of speech", "politically correct" from fascists and racists. America are using these so called freedoms to turn into a fascist state if they aren't there already. Fascism should not be given a chance nor a voice. People need to realize that there are certain things that they are unacceptable to say and should not be allowed and it certainly should apply to the highest office in the State.

If American canceled elections and gave the win to whomever they considered acceptable then the country could quickly turn into a dictatorship. The election will decide who wins, every adult citizen gets a vote. That's the best way to choose the winner.

It already is a dictatorship. Getting ready of the Republicans would simply prevent further fascism.

The Democrats nominated a corrupt dirtbag who is almost as unpopular as Donald Trump, rather than a real progressive like Bernie Sanders. Have they forfeited their right to run too?

Hint: no they haven't. It's called democracy.

This is right wing propaganda about Hillary. What did she do? All the fascists talk about is Benghazi. WOW! 4 rich privileged white men died in Benghazi! So what? At least that many black men die every day at the hands of the police. And besides Hillary is NOT racist and Trump clearly is. Hillary has the support of the black community, Black Lives Matter and Trump doesn't. If you want to see whether somebody is racist, check out how much minority support he has. Trump fails and Hillary passes.

Sicko isn't right-wing propaganda. Quite the opposite actually.

Is the woman who was pushed under the bus for writing (plagiarizing) Melania Trump's speech a real person? Meredith McIver has no presence on social media except for profiles that have all been created in the last 24 hours... conspiracies can be fun.

A call to purge the FBI is probably imminent...

Paul Manafort told @CNN he doesn't trust FBI stats showing crime has been dropping for years because of how it handled Clinton email probe.

Racists, sure, they're on all sides of the political spectrum, GOP included. Fascists? Do you know what fascism is? Fascism is all about a central strongman and about the importance of the state over the individual. The US has one of the most decentralized governments in the world, the president has little power without the support of Congress and the Supreme Court, much to Obama's annoyance in this round. There never has been a central strongman in US politics because the system prevents it. Nor do we see fascism's abandonment of the individual over the importance of the state's needs, in fact there are few nation's where the individual has a more independent nature, as seen in the gun rights and castle laws.

To invoke Godwin, perhaps your confusing fascism with Nazism? Are you suggesting American wants to gas and otherwise murder all black people? That's a tall accusation that needs to be defended with evidence beyond the admittedly outrageous killings by cops.

Ladies, vote Trump and you will receive a bigger allowance from your husbands.

On MSNBC Manafort says Trump can appeal to women bc: "They can't afford their lives. Their husbands can't afford paying the family bills."

Trump sounds like Hitler or Mussolini right now.

Right wing propaganda? I guess you never listened to anything that left wing Bernie Sanders said. But since you are a single issue voter who only cares about race, her problems really don't matter to you anyway.

Padme was right.

Liberty is not at risk with Trump. Not unless Congress and the Supreme Court are removed. The USA has one of the most robust democratic systems, it's realistically despot-proof. Compare it to Putin, who changed the constitution so he could keep on running. That would likely never happen in the USA, with FDR's unprecedented third term leading to the ratification of the 22nd amendment in 1951.

Now, having a citizenry voluntarily submit their personal details on social media - that's a surrender of privacy, a real threat to liberty.

If Trump really went off the rails, he could be stopped, especially since the senate is supposed to flip.

It's a little bit naive to believe that being an American somehow protects one from fascism and fascist influences... American has a long historical fascination with these ideas going back to the early part of the twentieth century--populists like Henry Ford, Huey Long, Father Charles Coughlin, Charles Lindberg and the original paleo-conservative America First party who were eager to pass off Europe to Hitler in 1940.

Once NATO is deconstructed under a Trump administration, how easy would it be to pass off Europe piece by piece to Putin...

New DNC email leaks reveal anti-Sanders bias, pro-Clinton collusion among top officials.

https://www.pastemagazine.com/artic...mail-leak-is-the-final-nail-in-the-party.html

Wikileaks proved what we all knew, which is that the primary was rigged and the party favoured Clinton long before any votes were cast. Instead of treating Sanders as a viable candidate, the DNC worked against him and his campaign to ensure Clinton received the nomination.
