Low bar for t'Rump?

I just saw some RW talking points on FB that said that one of the many successes of t'Rump's debate performance was that no liberal can compare him to Hitler any more.

WTF? He's not Hitler! Why not make that a campaign slogan?

I guess he has the Jewish vote nailed.

Hitler didn’t employ a ghostwriter to write his manifesto.
Hitler served in the military.
Hitler exhibited discipline and focus, and stuck to his talking points at his rallies.
Hitler only had one European wife.
Hitler waited until after taking power to attack members of his own party.
Hitler never felt up his daughter in front of millions of people.
Hitler broke his alliance with the Russians.
Nuclear weapons weren’t available to destroy humanity until after Hitler was dead.
Hitler’s hair was much more low-maintenance.
Hitler never had the chance to appreciate David Duke’s enthusiastic endorsement.

As I read your post.

My mind just goes there all the time.

I've studied history.

Cowards like him are classic bullies.

so personally, I believe comparisons are still valid.

In other words you are not alone!

CNN's is the only poll I know a little about the methodology. It was a group selected prior to the debate. Only one vote per customer. 62% Sec. Clinton and 27% Mr. t'Rump.

It is rather trivial to vote multiple times in many of these internet polls and I doubt that many Hillary supporters are hanging out on or following RW websites.

It would take me about 5 minutes to write a script to cast thousands of votes in any of them.
