      9. The GOP elite could use super-delegates to squash Trump. If they do that, they'll tear their party in half. https://twitter.com/jmstwn/status/669693457477177346 …

      10. Perhaps related to the question of whether Trump can win is: is he a fascist? Again, I have complicated answer: No, but...

      11. I think Trump is best described as not a fascist but fascistic: having some important characteristics of fascism but not fully identical

      13. But... in a weird way Trump is too scatterbrained & undisciplined to be a real fascist. Can't see him organizing paramilitary groups.

      15. In a weird way, American anti-statism precludes full fascism. A real fascist would promise more to white working class than Trump does

      19. @UOJim is of course right. Fascism, even more than communism, always has national characteristics.

          @HeerJeet @UOJim the temptation to say "fascist" misses out on the deep seated issue really fueling his "campaign", spiritualized capitalism

          @HeerJeet @UOJim if you have to keep saying "he's a fascist except for x, y and z..." Then you're barking up the wrong tree.

          20. Anyways, I think it's fair to say Trump has some fascistic tendencies & a genuine shot of getting GOP nomination. That's worrying!

          @HeerJeet @UOJim I recall Huey Long saying fascism would show up in the US, flag in hand, pretending to protect democracy from its enemies.
