Let me rephrase that Whatever words come out of Trump's mouth, it is extremely obvious that he is a lifelong enemy of labor rights and friend to big business It is completely absurd to vote in a policy and then vote a President who will immediately undermine it

No Trump is a mixed bag -- he's certainly politically weak in a lot of ways his allies wish he weren't -- but his weaknesses are also his strengths In terms of winning the national election, both times, he had very, very powerful advantages

America's appetite for full-on fascism rather than any diluted formulation has never been greater And the people saying "Nobody REALLY wants fascism, that's just what they settle for when you don't give them real socialism!" sound just as desperate as the KPD did in the 1920s

The strength of candidate is hugely important though. I think Obama was a great candidate and would've beaten Trump (regardless of policy platforms). That's quite uncontroversial I think. You see in other countries, when you change the leader, the polls can swing hugely.

Obama's elections were before Shelby County v. Holder though, so he wasn't running with the deck stacked against him structurally.
