Post-Truth

NBC News: First Read: Donald Trump, The Post-Truth 2016 Candidate
It's hard to disagree with the assessment of our colleague Benjy Sarlin: "Let's not sugarcoat what's going on. The GOP frontrunner is spreading hateful falsehoods about blacks and Muslims."

You don't get the GOP nomination without showing your a racist and Xenophobe. Carson can't get it because his skin tone is not right. Trump will say and do anything without a bit of conscience or care. Like his mentor AH he knows what the rabble wants to hear and he's prepared to give it to them.

I am starting to see this. Trump is a bit of a showman beyond his other 'traits'. He works his audience. That situation the other night where he's yelling - "get him out of here" over and over, that was very creepy even for someone like me who like you has seen some crazy shit. I thought that was a new low in recent politics. He could very easily have told that crowd to rip him apart, and I think they would have done it, I really do.
