We over here in Britland had a similar thing this year with Nigel Farage. He has very strong anti-immigration views and people wondered if he should be allowed to be part of the national debates. He was accepted and he was on the debates and he was fucking insane. He blamed everything on immigration and spread the message that if only immigrants were banned then everything would be better. Because of this everyone saw how batshit he was and I think it ended up having a negative effect. He still got about 4 million votes I think, but because of the way the system works here he only got one MP.
Basically what I'm saying is that they should actually let Trump into the debates. If he's insane then people will see that for themselves. If they think he has a point then that's just the way it works. Hiding him will only create sympathy. Give him a platform no matter the stupid shit he says. Let more people hear it and hear what he has to say straight from his mouth.

This is the smart approach so it will never happen in America

Do you have any idea how moronic and unthinking that half of Americans are?
I'm aware of that. As I said Farage still managed to get an alarming number of votes. But if you give him a microphone and you let him speak his own words then there will be no twisting them. His meaning will be clear. Just like the time he said that Mexican immigrants are rapists and drug lords. It's fucked up he said that but now there's no denying he said that.

To be fair, it worked great against Ron Paul just a few years ago.

Well, neither are going to win the presidency, so there's one thing in common.

I don't know, that McCain jab was not a shout against political correctness.

If they strike him down, he will become more powerful than they can imagine.
