Jonathan Alter: Trump’s Demagoguery ‘Spreads Fear’ for Political Gain

RUSH EXCERPT:

ALTER: "Part of this election is about who we are as a people, what do we represent. Do we represent the ideals of the Founders of democracy and freedom or do we want to go the strong man route? Now, look demagoguery works when he spreads fear of the other that works for him politically. That‘s one of the reasons why he‘s doing so well. And he also is a master of the medium of television. But when you actually add it all up and listen to what he says, dictators always tell you what they‘re going to do. Mein Kampf is the most truthful thing that Adolf Hitler ever wrote."
