Salon Writer: Goebbels Would Have Been ‘Proud’ of GOP Debate
A common allegation against Ronald Reagan during his White House years was that he confused movies with the real world. According to Chauncey DeVega, the current Republican presidential candidates do somewhat the same thing, and have added video games and a bit of Comic-Con to the mix.

Real USA Today Article: ‘Where Would You Flee If Trump Wins?'
In the pre-social media days, we endured "threats" from various people, mostly celebrities with far-left political views, that they would leave the country if a Republican presidential candidate won election or reelection.
