“Hillary is preferable to Trump, just like malaria is preferable to Ebola. … If it’s Trump-Hillary with no serious third-party option in the fall, as hard as it is for me to believe I am actually writing these words, there is just no question: I’d take a Tums and cast my ballot for Hillary.” — Jamie Weinstein, senior writer, the Daily Caller, a conservative website. . .
“When you’ve got a guy favorably quoting Mussolini, I don’t care what party you’re in, I’m not voting for that guy.” — Ken Cuccinelli, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund. . .

In praise of Il Duce:
------------- Miss Brodie: Oh. Observe the litter. In Italy, Mussolini has put an end to litter in the streets. Do any of you little girls remember what the followers of Mussolini are called?
Jenny: Fascisti.
Miss Brodie: That is correct. F-A-S-C-I-S-T-I. And Mussolini is called?
Sandy: Il "Dukee".
Miss Brodie: Il "Duchee". That is to say, 'The Leader'. Il Duce. We move on. . .

Miss Brodie: Benito Mussolini is a great man. He began life as a journalist, a man of learning, an intellectual. But he is also a man of action. He has made Capri into a sanctuary for birds. A simple act of goodness...
If you all turn to page twenty-five of your geography books, you'll find a map of Capri. It's off the coast of Naples.
It is because of II Duce that thousands of birds live and sing there today that might well have ended their careers on a piece of toast! ====

. . .
In a little-noticed May speech in Amsterdam, Jeb Bush said that he considered Mr. Trump a reflection of deeper trends. He described American democracy as gravely imperiled by corrosive forces: economic inequality and partisan polarization, the unsettling experience of globalization and a crippling lack of empathy.
Those forces, he said, had taken root “in increments not discernible to the naked eye,” leaving the country more vulnerable than ever to a political eruption.
A traumatic recession, Mr. Bush said, set it off.
“The inability to deal with these great challenges, I think, makes it easier in retrospect to see, on the left, a candidate like Bernie Sanders,” Mr. Bush said, “and certainly in my party, the emergence of Donald Trump.” ====
"Economic inequality"? "Crippling lack of empathy?" A **Bush** said those thing? What is this world coming to?

If Trump is Hitler, why is that bad?
