This post is a change of direction from those of yours crowning Trump the Alt Right King.
I wonder if this country really has the core of national identity that makes Le Pen or Putin possible. The "establishment" republicans have gone to the well many times to pull up another bucket of that kind of thing and Trump's vision of a market solution to all that ails us is popular because it does not turn on who we are but who we were. Who we were meaning, of course, white middle class educated inheritors of the next generation of jobs.

Trump's form of identity politics is racial and class oriented, not centered upon a shared national identity.
His gestures of solidarity pointing at that kind of identity are as weak a beer as his attempts to be accepted by evangelistic Christians.

The Rove/Bush team may be the last to combine those toxic elements into a single political agenda.

You take the wind out of my Mad Genius sails. I had Trump pegged as a slightly taller "Simon Says" character from Underdog, bot nooooo, you can't have it...

Here's Trump/Simon engineering Hurricane Matthew (Drudge was half right)

Yeah, together with the Confucius Prize, he's got the world's top honors locked up.

But Trump has soiled him all the same. President Hillary Clinton won't look kindly on Russia's electoral machinations.

Putin is not married to Trump or his legacy. He's got other stuff going on, including a peace award from Venezuela.

No. Unless one is steeped in some mind altering drugged fantasy, this was not some complex Wagnerian melodramatic conspiracy of 'neoliberals' to sabotage the precious bodily fluids of the GOP, alt-right, Tea Party or whatever name they come up with next to escape accountability for their most recent disaster.

This was a reality show host huckster, who fit right in with them ideologically, commandeering the bigoted, democracy hating base the Republican Party has spent 30 years and billions of dollars creating and working into a furor of hate every election to exploit them and their votes.

I watch Giuliani and all I can think of is the picture of Nosferatu that Maher shows from time to time.

Although I hate these living dead films/tv episodes you have a real point here.

I swear that Giuliani drools sometimes. hahahahah

Oh, I and keep saying this, but there are far more evil GOPers around than T-Rump.

Again, cause T-Rump has no frickin idea what he is doing; let alone how he could do these things. ha

Eh, no one is smart/insane enough to plan and execute something like this.

But what a clusterfuck this has turned out to be and not just for Donald. Everyone he touches comes away reeking: Giuliani, Christie, Cruz, Jeb, Rubio, Cruz, Pence, Ayotte, Bill, Hillary, Putin, Melania, the media, and the entire Republican Party. He's a walking disease, the Typhoid Mary of debasement.
