There has been some discussion here about President Carter and how he views the 2016 election. Some feel that his strong stand against the “oligarchy” that dominates our political system is a tacit endorsement of Sen. Sanders. Others point to Carter’s v

In yesterday’s debate Chris Wallace asked him how Donald Trump would get the military to conduct torture, against their training and international law. His authoritarian reply was simply“they’ll do what I say. Believe me”.

All the discussions about Donald Trump largely miss the point. Donald Trump is not a Nazi. He is not a racist. He is not a Republican, or an authoritarian, or a conservative.
