lifelong Publican: Trump reveals "at best an authoritarian view, & at worst the words of a dictator"
... Here's what lifelong registered Republican had to say in a letter to the editor in USA Today:

I have been a registered Republican since I was first eligible to vote in 1980. In college, I was taught that democracy is often difficult, challenging and may exhort a personal cost. While I believe Hillary Clinton has many issues, I’m very concerned about the philosophy of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

The most troubling thought was presented by Trump during the second presidential debate. Trump stated that if he were to be president, his political rival “would be in jail.” [font color="red"]This philosophy is at best an authoritarian view, and at worst[font size="+1"] the words of a dictator[/font][/font].

Hmmmm that reminds me of something....
cf. When the Donald said if he was president he would lock up Hillary, I wish Hillary had said:
"That's all we need, an insecure child-man as a dictator, tearing up our Constitution."
