Might have used the wrong words but he's got the right idea.

I'll have to wait and see what happens but at this point he's got my vote.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

He's definitely not PC and that's the kind of in-your-face stuff that we need. It's possible to incorporate that mindset without using those words, however. He's got some maturing to do as a politician.

I have the sense that he hasn't quite gotten the point yet that his every word, every nuance, every raised eyebrow is being scrutinized, analyzed, and picked apart. As long as you're a celebrity or a politician, your life isn't yours anymore.
