CNN: "We can't let America become Trumpistan" [View all]

[Silent3]

At least not everything on CNN is trying to boost Trump:

...Obama was right to ring the alarm bell. We need to ask ourselves: would a President Trump try to implement -- via legislation, regulations or executive orders -- his promises to limit freedom of religion, jail political opponents and curtail freedom of the press?

And if he did, are you satisfied with the idea of Trump transforming our nation from the United States of America into Trumpistan? No, our country would not become Afghanistan. But under a President Trump it would no longer be "the shining city on the hill" with "people of all kinds living in harmony and peace," as Ronald Reagan stated in his 1989 farewell speech.

Instead, it would be a nation ruled by a thin-skinned, egotistical, serial liar who seems to have little respect for our democratic institutions. Now, some might be inclined to dismiss all this as just hyperbolic talk, but they could be making a dangerous mistake given Trump's vindictive nature. He has lashed out against anyone critical of him, from other politicians to the media to "Saturday Night Live," tweeting that the show should be taken off the air when it mocked him in a way he found objectionable.
