For sometime I have thought that Trump's antics were helping the Democratic Party by laying bare the ugliness in the GOP (my perception of course). But now he has crossed that line and continuing to do so. Is his latest pronouncements because he is slipping in the polls in Iowa or is he worse than what we thought? A media blackout on Trump would help matters in the short term. This guy is a menace to our country.

Be careful what you wish for.

The fall of Trump would be like the fall of Saddamn.

Whomever takes his place may be worse.

To me it looks like that would be Cruz.

I think he plans to keep ramping it up. I think this will get violent.

I think he's looking for the sweet spot.

So far the nastier the rhetoric the more popular he gets with the Republican base. When he reaches the point where his polls start to drop because of it, he'll back off a notch and set the cruise control. As nasty as the Republican base is, he may still have a ways to go.

You know when I first heard the theory that he is in cahoots with the Clintons and has entered the race to help Hillary I thought it was just crazy. But the way he's acting I'm beginning to wonder if there might be something to it.

I am surprised the prominent catalogs of 'awful stuff Trump is saying' aren't including this one, where he as good as said 'Nice family you've got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.'

This segment shows shocking, cold brutality. Calling Trump a 'menace' understates it, by a lot.

The Israelis employ a milder form. They blow up homes where terrorist's family live. It is called collective punishment.

The carnage in San Bernardino could have been a lot worse. This guy needs to be shut up at all costs IMO.

I look at Trump as chemotherapy for the country.

It might make us sick and bald, but we need it to kill the cancer that is the Republican Party.

More like homeopathy. "Like cures like."
