Obama and his executive orders are pretty authoritarian and Trump would continue that.
It's too late. They can't do anything now. Trump will win the nomination and start an ugly fight with Hillary.

If it wasn't for the House being taken over by the teabaggers I'd vote Romney over Clinton in a second. But the Republican party isn't an option for me as long as they're beholden to the teabagger vote, and that's not going away for a long time thanks to gerrymandering. I would have taken Reagan or Bush 41 over Clinton too, at least they were willing to put money into scientific research instead of calling evolution a hoax, global warming a conspiracy theory, etc like the teabag loonies.
Hardly... and they're within the letter of the law (at least as of now).
Obama's exec orders are perfectly legal. You rightwingnut assholes would love a Repug Pres to do the same.
Trump doesn't give the tiniest about actually governing, so at there the entire Repug party and Trump are in perfect agreement.
Obama's exec orders, which his attempt to goven, are NOTHING compared 6+ years of the Repugs' STRICT OBSTRUCTIONISM.
Repugs haven't execte the tiniest of governance, which is exactly as planned.
What's funny is if Romney hadn't bowed to the teabaggers with the Ryan VP pick he'd probably be in a race for re-election in 2016. I'll never understand picking up the kill medicare guy to solidify a voting bloc that was 100% against the nigger anyways.
The 47 percent remark is another thing that doomed Romney.
That kind of ties into the Ryan pick, why in the did he go so far right when he had a centrist record that would have gotten him elected against such a weak in bent?
Compared to Trump, Romney is solid as .
No. He's being ridiculed by liberals because he's a bigoted con-artist who has more similarities with Hitler than anyone running for President since Strom Thurmond.
Funny, he kind of LOOKS like a puppet.Call him whatever you want, but at least he's no one's puppet.
RomneyCare was a govt solution, which is HATED by conservatives whose ideology says NOTHING GOOD (for the 99%) can come from govt.
Bishop Gekko tried to be pure and hard right to appease the tea baggers and extremists.
Of course he had to do that in the primaries, but I have no clue why he went even further right in the general election. He could have just ran as a centrist and then governed as a wingnut later. Anyone but Obama was the rally cry of the far right voters anyways.
My statement is in response to the above article about authoritarian. Regarding your bolded statement, it isn't only liberals who are criticizing him - the conservatives (see National Review) and republican establishment are against him too.
The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter
And it’s not gender, age, income, race or religion.
By Matthew MacWilliams - January 17, 2016
If I asked you what most defines Donald Trump supporters, what would you say? They’re white? They’re poor? They’re uneducated?
You’d be wrong.
In fact, I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism.
That’s right, Trump’s electoral strength—and his staying power—have been buoyed, above all, by Americans with authoritarian inclinations. And because of the prevalence of authoritarians in the American electorate, among Democrats as well as Republicans, it’s very possible that Trump’s fan base will continue to grow.
My finding is the result of a national poll I conducted in the last five days of December under the au es of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, sampling 1,800 registered voters across the country and the political spectrum. Running a standard statistical analysis, I found that education, income, gender, age, ideology and religiosity had no significant bearing on a Republican voter’s preferred candidate. Only two of the variables I looked at were statistically significant: authoritarianism, followed by fear of terrorism, though the former was far more significant than the latter.

nothing new about (American) losers wanting a Strongman to make them winners, and "make America great again".
Trump is conning his supporters, and won't do for those losers, like $15/hour minimum wage, universal Medicare replacing predatory BigInsurance, etc, etc. Not a ing thing for them. But he'll cut his own taxes by $100ms.
That's why ALL politicians run for office: to get (more) wealthy.
What exactly did I misunderstand about this:
He is meeting opposition on the republican side because they can't control him. To a lesser extent, they don't like his racism, sexism, or past "liberal" policies. People on the left criticize him because he's a disgusting human being.
The race is OVER. Trump has already strong-armed his way to the nomination. If someone steals the nomination from him, he is just going to go independent to screw the GOP. There's nothing they can do at this point. It's either promote Trump or nothing.
Would have to think that they would disown trump or risk doing irreparable damage to the party. He's being endorced by hate group and David Duke, it doens't help that the GOP has long been assciated with racism. If he is nominated the Democrats are probably doing a 90/80/80 in Black, Asian, Hispanic turnout.
The third party angle is interesting, obviously it would torpedo any chance of a conservative in the white house though.
By endorsing Trump David duke is just following everyone in the smear campaign. Can't believe ppl in here don't realize
"GOP has long been assciated with racism"
donkeys think blacks have more rights then whites
and gays have more rights then straights
No, dolt. Democrats thinks these groups have equal rights, but your analysis is cute.
black trump supporter on the Duke endorsement on MSNBC
How would Trump supporters, who Trump believes would still support him even if he shot someone in the street (LMAO), react if the establishment stole away the nomination from Trump?
They'd blame Obama
