I guess I thought of Trump as more of a Montana Max, but this works too.
Man, it's weird going back to these and seeing the overt political references you didn't get when you were like four or five.

I was slightly surprised at how long it had been since the last one! Mostly because I would have expected a pro forma visit for either The Year 2000 or We're Sad About 9/11. I guess that doesn't really qualify as "caring", though.

He's not even consistent, as Obama gets namedropped every so often as himself.

I think the bunnies are, well, bunnies because otherwise the Clintons would be a regular character on the strip. Sometimes he just uses them as generic standins for corrupt politicians and pivot to Clinton bashing when convenient.

The Villagers aren't IN the story. No-one apart from Frankenstein, a blind man, his family and the captain Frankenstein tells the tale to are even aware of the creatures existence.

But if we go by the movies, the villagers are close minded, simple and hate anything thats different. Of course they'd love Trump.

Basically it's verboten within the republican noise machine to condemn Trump for being far-right, racist, xenophobic, fascist or sexist. The approved list of criticisms include "inexperienced", "ridiculous", "mean", "former democrat", "blowhard", "reality TV star", "childish", "thin-skinned".

i.e. it's not that they have a problem with any of the things Trump thinks or plans to do (unless it's him being vaguely noncommital on abortion and Israel). It's that it will be Trump doing those things.

Republican In Name Only, which, given the relative difference between trump and the standard GOP opinions, is a decent enough criticism from party shill Ramirez.

Overall that cartoon is pretty good, but the Trump label undercuts imo.

More to the point, the RINO label has traditionally been applied to Republicans who lean too far to the left. Trump is anything but.

I wouldn't say trump leans to the left, but he definitely leans a little differently than the rest of the candidates. He's anti free trade, and seems ambivalent about some traditional socially conservative policies while being way more gung ho about others. He's different, which is why the other candidates have trouble cutting into his support.

Protectionism isn't inherently left or right. It's inherently populist. You can argue for protectionism or free trade from left or right standpoints.
