You know strange as it may sound, that is actually one of the few practical positives of Trump. I think the Russian-US relationship is very important in the geopolitical landscape and I only hope President Clinton moves to improve relations with them, but I doubt it.
Following MoveOn.org's "success" last Friday, George Soros is back on the lips of an increasing number of Americans as Bloomberg reports, the liberal billionaire, whose effort to unseat President George W. Bush in 2004 shattered political spending records, is returning to big-ticket activism after an 11-year hiatus. Soros has spent or committed more than $13 million to support Hillary Clinton and other Democrats this election cycle and has warned Donald Trump (and Ted Cruz) of "consequences" for their words and actions.Welcome to the Oligarchy

This man incites violence. Only Trump opposes him.
Gingrich threw cold water all over the idea of a brokered convention, which Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol has been plotting. If no candidate gets 50 percent of the delegates on the first ballot, then on the second ballot the pledged delegates can become “un-pledged” and support whomever the party bosses tell them to support.
“It’s childish nonsense,” Gingrich said. “There are two potential presidential nominees. One is named Donald. One is named Ted. The idea that some clever Washington intellectual or power broker — put quote marks around ‘power broker’— can step into an election in which millions have voted and magically change the trajectory of history? It’s goofy. There’s two players standing.”
Gingrich speculated that Trump and Cruz might actually form an alliance, similar to how they did in the early days of the campaign, in order to prevent a brokered convention at the last minute.
“If Trump is at 45 percent does he negotiate with Cruz?”
“They will band together and have 85 percent of the delegates between them,” Gingrich said. “Both of these guys are committed to breaking up the old order.”
“How is somebody who’s never run going to stand up on national television and on social mediaand not get run out of town?” Gingrich said, referring to a potential Mitt Romney, who could walk onstage at the convention after a backroom deal.
Look here is the deal. Low hanging fruit. Those that support Trump are not going to listen to anything you have to say and those that dislike Trump are just obvious echo chambers of no duhs.
It's comical watching the intellectual children trip over their tiny little feet when they try to run.

It's pretty easy to find video of Trump inciting violence. Why does he have immunity from being charged for inciting the crowd? I would think that, by now, someone would've begun the process of charging him.
My first reaction to seeing repeated videos of his very objectionable actions and rhetoric was outrage. Then came denials—A serious Presidential candidate can't really be acting this way and saying these things. The came Anger, that mo-fo is lying, a demagogue appealing to the worst in us, and inciting violence, among other campaign "felonies".. I skipped acceptance I have moved on to sadness (for our country). How have lowered ourselves so? What's next? This man is beyond shame and the reach of reproach.
There are usually greys between rigid polemical (and ideological) extremes.
Hate's gotta be the buzzword-du-jour/année.
Um...sure. Whatever.
And tragically I see hate being the major driver behind political loyalties in the US.
Cart before horsey.
Hate (and love) seem to come naturally with the territory of loyalty (to ideology/nation/religion/etc.). It's the age-old in-group thing. My lovable group (and its principles) is better than your loathsome group (and its delusions). You're either with us...
Simple binaries.
Through hatred is also a close cousin of fear (see various phobias).

"So I’m watching Donald Trump walk up to a stick fight with a flamethrower in his hands that only I can see. It’s like an invisible flamethrower! And the only reason I can see it is I have the same tool box.”
It depends on how broad or narrow (and I might add ideologically rigid) you choose to define capitalism.
At its narrowest it's commonly just about private ownership and profit, but it can easily accommodate other aspects, including myriad forms of corruption (both by government and business entities).
Yes, anybody gets to define anything. And the story of capitalism has mostly been told by its enemies.
As a political ideology it's pretty simple: in a capitalist society all transactions are voluntary, by which I mean uncoerced. No threats of violence.
As a boogieman capitalism is "People making money, especially people I hate."
Capitalism is either a utopia, or dystopia...usually both.
