Judging Turtle Neck McConnell's recent pro-isrealhell speech, I think you're right.

That's the difference though. McConnell is old guard Republican. Far-right, but in a stodgy, slow kind of way that builds strategic alliances where needed. Trump's far right is utterly impulsive, guided by pure emotion, and completely unfettered in their hatred.

And Trump is extremely susceptible to flattery. It makes him very dangerous to have as a leader.

Trump is dangerous for so many reasons that at this point its difficult to even try to list them all.
