I think from the look in her eyes you can tell she is a kind person.

Otherwise there's no point in having learned that history.

Anne Frank's step sister who survived Auschwitz has pointed out that Trump is acting like Hitler did in his early rise to power. I doubt she makes this statement lightly. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox also said Trump reminds him of Hitler. That's a recent head of state from one of the largest democracies in the world! In my opinion, comparing Trump to Hitler doesn't indicate a lack of advanced reasoning but refusing to say it out of fear of being ridiculed by people who think they're clever because they're familiar with Godwin's Law does.
I think that comparing politicians to Hitler has been so overused for so long it became trite a long time ago. I've seen and heard politicians of all stripes compared to Hitler; Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson and many more. It can apply to any politician if the person making the comparison has an ideological axe to grind with that particular politician and wants to use something their opponent said or proposed or did that they dislike or disagree with and want to link with Hitler or Nazism.

I imagine that if Trump had done poorly and dropped to the back of the pack and Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or John Kasich was the front-runner, there would also be similar comparisons being made about whichever one of them was leading.

I wouldn't even be terribly surprised if I hear about Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton being compared to Hitler by some of their critics and enemies.

It's all in the political eye of the beholder.

No. I will not compare Cruz or any other politician you mentioned to Hitler. I'm talking specifically pre-rise to power rhetoric. Type casting Mexican illegals as "rapists" and suggesting that all Muslims should have to "register" as such. Taking the position that the Hitler comparison should ALWAYS be dismissed on the basis it's grossly misused puts you in the unfortunate position of not allowing yourself to learn from this tragic history.

Well the media can portray him as Hitler all they want, it's just going to galvanize his supporters and make him more popular.

Trump may be an instable megalomaniac but he's smart and has tapped into the rage that has been building towards political correctness over the last few decades.

With the exception of Rand Paul, how many other Republican candidates went on the Alex Jones show.? He knows his base, Bush and Rubio are clueless on who supports them.

The latest polls show he's killing Rubio in Florida. If he can avoid saying anything to stupid in the coming months he will be the nominee of the Republican Party, guaranteed.

I'll partially agree. Indeed, if there's anything I've seen repeatedly from the Trump followers it's that the more outrageous he gets, the more it would offend those of us on the left, the more his followers love it. Where I differ is that I don't believe he's gaining new supporters, he only appeals to the fans he already has IMO.

Whether that will be enough to carry the ticket in November is another issue. As a staunch liberal I do not fear Cruz, even less so Kasick or Rubio. I'm worried about Trump.
