When a candidate gets the left and the right scurrying, maybe he is on to something

Liberal/Progressive/Democrats and entrenched Republican leadership are as scared of Trump as they are of Europe’s national parties.

"Defaming Sweden Democrats as 'scrubbed up neo-fascists' and vilifying Europe's right as Sieg-heiling-nationalists (and connecting all to Trump and his American supporters) isn't just a disgrace; it's a cliche. And it's not just a cliche, it's a cliche of the Left. As with the "nativist" smears, conservative outlets are following the Left's playbook. The Right is using the same buzz-words and smears that the Left concocted not to further debate or refine our thinking, but rather to stop debate and freeze our thinking. It is in the same disastrous tradition of 'Red-baiter' and 'Islamophobe.' This is dirty-bomb terminology -- 'nativist,' 'neo-fascist,' etc. -- and is supposed to render the contaminated ones radioactive, then contained and finally disposed of."
