STEVE GREEN’S DEBATE WRAP-UP:

I must repeat that I do not believe that Donald Trump is a fascist or a national socialist or a white supremacist or any of that.

But when it comes to pleasing the crowd, he proved himself tonight willing to play by the Führerprinzip when it comes to (ahem) enhanced interrogation.

I could try to explain to you why I thought Rubio did a good job, or maybe how Cruz seemed to downplay at least some of his more unlikeable tendencies…

But I keep coming back to that one thing: Trump and the Führerprinzip — bending the military to his will, rather than to each member’s oath to the Constitution.

I’ll repeat what I said earlier: Trump is no Hitler, but he really ought to read a history book or two.

Maybe I’m making too much of this one thing…

But shouldn’t somebody?

Wow, I had no idea how spot-on the Dr. Strangelove Photoshop was going to be tonight. Be right back while I send the recall code to the Pentagon. Have you got a quarter for the phone?
