On the Road
On the Road's JournalA Lot of People Will be Making Comparisons to Hitler This Campaign Season
despite anything anyone writes.
The effect of these comparisons will depend on whether more people by into them. Perhaps there will be a Daisy Girl ad which blows Trump's chances out of the water. Problem is, many Republicans demonized Trump during the primaries, but failed and may have actually helped Trump win the nomination. Maybe it will be different in the general, but who knows?.
Accusations of the kind we're seeing have historically made by third parties and marginal groups against mainstream candidates. Accusers may think they've hit their mark, but if their audience thinks it's overblown, the speaker just appears small and panicked. NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN have been painfully evenhanded during most elections, but if this is a common theme they pretty much turn into Fox.
Up to this Point,
Hillary Clinton is the closest thing America has ever had to a President in Waiting.
However, it useful to remember that the first time Hunter Thompson used that expression, he was referring to Gary Hart before the 1988 primaries.
