Wow, Donald Trump sounds great! He should be President forever.

I'd very surprised if she named Warren.  It would not be in character for her and it would reduce Warren's value to the campaign.

More likely it will be Kaine or Castro.

I know we are repairing relations but Castro is almost as radical as Sanders and he's even older.  I don't think he'd make a good choice.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

This thread needs Meri in here telling us Jill Stein would be a great VP choice for Hillary.

Thing is, if Trump isn't running on policy, what's the draw?

His winning personality?
His impressive experience in government?
His deep understanding of foreign affairs and security?
His sterling track record of avoiding debt default?

Yes.

Also, make America great again. Details to be hammered out later.  ^_^

I hate to make the Hitler comparison, but this was pretty much the Nazi program back in '32.

At least this time we are calling our candidates Hitler before they even get elected.

Eh, reading a Hitler biography right now.  Things that that struck me, Hitler really didn't have program, just a few talking points he ram home.  In '32 even antisemitism was on the back burner.  Specifics were worked out by locals leaders to fit local conditions.  Hitler's message was pretty much "the establishment has failed you, they only serve special interests.  I can represent all Germans so elect me, I'm a genius".

Here's the thing, a lot of Trumps supporters rather like the Hitler comparison.

He is a gigantic nerd :P

Except for the Alt-right.  Being Hitler seems fine with them.

Well if you think Trump's Hitler shouldn't you be doing everything in your power to stop him? Because you're not letting Hitler just take over America like that?

I would not disagree with the above.

If you haven't read the first 1/3 of Mein Kampf, it gives some good background. Last 2/3 is ranting.

So, apparently Trump has scored the highest number of primary votes in the US history. The last record belonged to Dubya, with 10.8 million - Trump has now got 13.2 million.
