I could say the same thing about Himmler in the German Government.

With help; just like Himmler did, in his time. And most mass-murderers, I guess. Is a death-squad CEO ever really worth defending?

So Trump is Hitler and Clinton is Himmler?

Doesn't look good does it...

Your point is...?

FDR
David Cameron
Lloyd George
Eisenhower
Angela Merkel

Other people who held senior government posts before becoming PM or President etc...?

So while other western leaders may grudgingly accept civilian deaths as an unfortunate by-product of necessary actions, Trump would make it a centerpiece of his strategy.

You think that's the worst. Trump isn't sure whether he would use nukes... in Europe...

Why don't you specifically explain how Clinton murdered a million people? You keep parroting the same line but provide no links or evidence to support your statement.

Thing is, if you are going to go full Godwin and compare candidates to Hitler and Himmler et al there is only one candidate that matches.

Only one candidate is proposing to target a specific ethnic group in his own country and get rid of them.

I'm not sure "the millionaires and billionaires" are an actual ethnic group.

To be fair, he said 'partly to blame'. Hilary Clinton was Foreign Secretary, was she not? It wouldn't be a stretch to say American Foreign policy has be responsible for a lot of today's conflicts. Ex Foreign Secretary Henry Kissinger is certainly a much universally reviled character.
People are fed up with the status quo, hence the popularity of Sanders and Trump, the Republican and Democratic establishment. The less of two evils is stll evil. Shity or shitier is still shite

Well most Trump supporters are the kind you could sell the Brooklyn bridge to. It's time they woke up to reality. The 1950s and 1960s just called, they wont be back.

Sanders is a dreamer and Hillary is just plain unlikeable
