In December 2015, weeks after Ryan became Speaker, Bannon wrote in an internal Breitbart email obtained by The Hill that the “long game” for his news site was for Ryan to be “gone” by the spring.

The similarities of the Trump campaign to the rise of Hitler are far too close for comfort.

They share a vainglorious self regard and demagogue ability for populous rabble rousing.
Trump lacks the knowledge, long range preparation, and self dicipline of AH.

Anyone who thinks there won't be violent revenge against enemies as soon as the Trump bunch has the power to do it isn't paying attention.

Jail for Hillary? Hah! For her family, too!

^^^ Paul LePage makes no sense as usual, but he does seem think that Trump "showing some authoritarian power" would be a good thing.
