The Dumpster behind the mask.

[Brian37]

Now here is the thing KUSA wants to vote for a dipshit

I am not voting for Hillary. She is the dipshit.

and I am sure KUSA thinks I am full of shit.

This is true.

But the difference is neither of us are running for public office.  

Why don't you run Brian?

Point being Trump's behavior last night is fine for REALITY  TV or Jerry Springer, but not ok in office.

He is not in office. Yet.

I have been paying attention to politics for 30 years now, and even with all the hate aimed at Obama, I have never seen one politician manage to turn politics into schoolyard garbage.

Trump is not a politician.

Trump is not in office yet, but when you have the GOP even saying he is turning it into Jerry Springer and I agree, he has NO  business being in office.

Why don't I run, well, first, I don't have the money even if I wanted to, secondly I don't like being polite all the time so I wouldn't be able to do that job. I like Bill Maher but as much as he and I agree on economics, he is not a politician so if he ran against Bernie or Hillary I would find that context inappropriate. 

You forget context. Trump isn't on TV merely entertaining people. When you run for office, you are not only a diplomat, you are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and not just those who voted to put you in office. Non politicians, especially media, are supposed to be critics, satirists, provokers and even blasphemers. 

Trump doesn't understand what a politicians roll is and the context of his bombastic, xenophobic language while even outside being a politician is garbage, he's playing a dangerous game mixing that with politics, he is no longer just a celebrity entertainer.

This isn't JUST ABOUT HIM, this is about what he is doing and how he is doing it and the context of situation he is in. And again, as much as I hated Bush Jr, and as bad as I thought both McCain and Romney were, not even they sunk to Trump's level. It is simply DANGEROUS and would be a dangerous tactic 100 years ago and would be 1,000 years from now.

He isn't "telling it like it is". He is literally using demagoguery and fear and scapegoating. Now do a little research on any despot in history that has risen to power, that is what they all do. Now do I think Trump even if he won could suddenly become a despot? No, but long term if all our politicians left or right all start behaving like him, our system will either collapse or simply be words on paper in name only. This is not just about him, this is about the tone he could set long term and his tone is very dangerous.
