1. Don't forget

he also hates women. He was "disgusted" by a woman breastfeeding her baby.

2. The good news is no, Trumps lacks a few things Hiter had...

1) An apparatus behind him. He's grabbing an audience other snake-oil salesmen have attracted, but he hasn't built a party to focus it all around him, to carry out his program at the local level.

2) He doesn't have an overarching view of the Way Things Ought To Be, and a personal mission to bring that about.

The bad news is that other people, such as Cruz, DO have those things. The thing to worry about most is what happens if either Trump or Cruz can play kingmaker for the other. Wedding Trump's fear-mongering, bombast, and belligerence with Cruz's Religious Right network and agenda, then things get really dangerous.

7. Hitler was self made man who fought in WW1, was wounded in a gas attack...

and managed to create the most brutal and repressive regimes the world had ever seen before his death at age 56.

Trump on the other hand is a fat bumbling 69 year old man who inherited his dad's riches, almost went bankrupt in the 90s, left Atlantic city in ruins and talks about how he finds his own daughter sexually attractive.

The guy could drop dead of a heart attack or stroke at any moment from the stress of running alone.

I know he's following Hilter's playbook and as much as I hate lionizing Adolf Hitler, I think it needs to be pointed out that when it comes to strategy and success in the sense of creating a regime responsible murdering millions of fellow Germans while other Germans cheered it on, Donnie boy an his $4 billion has nothing on Hitler.

I just want to make it clear that I'm referring to the OP's point only, nothing else.

9. "Hitler was hot for his niece, and may or may not have raped her."

Well, why am I not surprised?

5. The Art of the Deal vs. Mein Kampf

neither a great guide for life, but the first one might help you get your car for less.

3. Without the snappy emo haircut...

That is a very good (if chilling) point: Hitler was thought of by most Germans as an object of ridicule. Just as a whole bunch of Americans regard Trump...

Of course, the clown car is full of buffoons. However, none of them give me that alarming "poor impulse control" vibe that Trump exudes.
