Not sure technically that he c be described as a terrorist, but he has mounted a campaign founded on people's fears and prejudices. I think he's an almost classical example of a demagogue. This IMO would be a more accurate description of the man. That he is also acting in a less than honorable manner is, to say the least. I'd go as far as to say he's acting in a disgraceful way even if he was just running for dog catcher.

Trump has to lose, it's imperative. The country does not need to be led by someone who as far as I can tell wants to simply change the tax code so that any small amount of taxes that he might pay, will be also reduced to zero. Any he will do this under the guise of being being a pro-nationalist neo-racist. It's very interesting reading the comments at the alt right sites like Brietbart lately. These guys believe that FOX News is liberal, they believe the vote is rigged against Trump, they believe the main stream media outside of Brietbart is in collusion to destroy Trump. They believe Trump will be assassinated, they believe Clinton assassinates people, they believe they will be assassinated. They repeat each other's lines. If a crazed poll comes out, one that asks for input online without any qualifications, and it shows that Trump is ahead, they rally behind it. They believe that Trump's turnout at his speaking venues indicate that he is leading a majority movement in the country. It''s almost tragic in its paranoia and fear. There's some very unique people out there.

Sadly, some of the same energy that is driving his following on the Darkside was the same as what was driving Bernie's youth brigades. There is a real desperation out here now for many of the groups that feel they've been left behind in the recovery. I feel it in my own life. At 67 I have to now try and figure out how to survive the rest of my life on whatever I've saved, invested and some SSI. Nobody hires people like me anymore even with all my experience or is that in spite of all of it? It's scary and I have a whole lot more than many of these folks. A whole generation in the upper midwest has been abandoned and the cities of China they feel have been built on their bones. They aren't wrong and both Drumpf and the Clinton's have dug their grave for them to some extent. Sadly, regardless of which one of these two gets elected that isn't going to change much now because the Congress and the both parties political elites are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Fortune 500 now. Corporatism triumphant World-wide!! Till the bombs start to fall. The survivors will wonder why never understanding you can't have it all and leave behind billions without WAR. Unfortunately, the weapons though have now way overshot their effectiveness politically. Won't matter now with religious fanatics in the mix again.
