A start for what? The guy is a fascist, and a liar. Hell, people like you thought Hitler would be  start too.


BTW, I don't think a guy is a success just because he found a way to make money off going bankrupt. He sure as hell wasn't a success for the people he screwed out of their money. Kind of like his "self financing". He loans his campaign money to run on, and they will expect the RNC to pay if back to him after the election is over.

Hitler’s special skill in selling himself was his uncanny ability to intuit crowd mood. He understood that he had to reach past the nitty-gritty of desperate 1920s pocketbook issues to the German people’s sense of themselves. “The question of the recovery of the German people (from World War I) is not a question of economic recovery,” he wrote in an internal party memorandum. Regaining an “inner feeling” was the key, he explained, because only that could lead again to “national greatness.” Germans, not merely defeated but humiliated by the war’s aftermath, craved self-respect even more than bread, Hitler rightly sensed.


Sound familiar? While Donald Trump is no killer, he shares Hitler’s goal of national greatness. Like Hitler, Trump has a preternatural sense of crowd mood and the voters’ inner needs, not just their material distress. They want, even more than badly needed jobs and security, a sense of their own value in an unmoored world.


And, like Hitler, Trump offers the same route to achieving renewed greatness: himself. A born demagogue believes that only he has the skills needed to save the day.
