In September 2015 Diogenes wrote (See President Trump):
"All the pieces necessary for a US fascist-style dictatorship are currently in place: (1) Trump, a media-savvy, wealthy, charismatic, and populist demagogue in the mold of Huey Long, (2) an ignorant, uneducated, and frightened electorate combined with a history of a low turnout in primary elections, and (3) an extremely weak field of other Republican contenders who lack any ability to garner the attention of the media away from the King of reality television."

"This entire sordid Republican Primary has delighted Democrats until they realized (belatedly) that Trump is a master politician who might very well defeat Hillary to become the 45th President of the United States."
And today, February 24th--Diogenes writes:
Trump has a lock on the Republican nomination with the establishment Republicans left with just one slim option. And that is, Kasich and Rubio must join forces whereby one agrees to drop out and support the other. The decision could be made on the basis of a coin toss if negotiations fail. The loser drops out with the understanding that the winner would pick him for Vice President. This, of course, is highly unlikely setting up an inevitable Trump/Clinton confrontation in November.
