Mike's Blog Round Up
December 9, 2015

Interesting piece by Chait yesterday, arguing that Trump has essentially already won, even if he doesn't end up wining the Republican nomination.

Personally, I think Trump is more egomaniacal opportunist than ideological fascist, even if he's clearly a mix of the two now, but there's no denying the nationalist far-right tendencies that more and more are defining the Republican Party (note: one half of the two-party system) as much as the more establishmentarian Bush-style plutocracy.

Party of Trump indeed.

Bark Bark Woof Woof: Yes, it can happen here.

Alicublog: He's a fool, but he's your fool.

Booman Tribune: The damage is not his alone.

Outside the Beltway: The bigotry won't hurt him.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.
