Hitler's 1932 campaign

In his most successful campaign, Hitler didn't run on Jew hatred, or Lebensraum, he ran on a promise to heal the economic despair of the Great Depression (which he actually did, but that's another matter):

("Our last hope:  Hitler.")

Trump is no Hitler, despite certain affinities:  unlike Hitler, for example, Trump has no core ideology.  And the significant inflation of the last few years (which is dramatic and visible to every voter every time they go to the supermarket) falls far short of the crisis of global capitalism that was the Great Depression.  Yet our election is still a toss-up, although at least the Democrats have a chance now.  But throwing gold-plated bones to the ruling class is not the path to Democratic victory.  Sherrod Brown, an actual pro-worker Democrat, is going to win re-election to the Senate in "deep red" Ohio, a state Trump is forecast to win by 5-10 points.  What a shame Brown isn't heading the national ticket.
