I feel a one-off political blog post rant coming on Peggy Noonan's latest WSJ op-ed "A Party Divided". She sees Trumpmania as a class revolt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016
Noonan wants to suggest that illegal immigration is on the agenda of the mythical "Donor Class". First, worker protectionism is not new.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016
Second, by my count immigration reform has failed at least 3 times over the past 12 years. Third, since 2007, there's been a net outflow.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016

Fourth, immigration is good for the economy with modest short-term effects in low-wage jobs. The problem we have is low economic growth.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016
The problem of low growth can be traced to too much government in the economy. We have almost $2T of regulatory costs and more in spending.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016
Trump and Sanders' agenda of anti-trade, anti-immigration, Big Govt, and class warfare tax hikes replicate Hoover/FDR's failed policies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016
The US has about 4% of the global population. Anti-trade and anti-immigrant policies cut us off from 96% of the global market.Recipe:failure-Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 4, 2016

(National Review). "If you dub Trump ‘Hitler,’ can you be surprised when people oppose him with violence?"
I have been calling him a fascist long before the "progressives" did and for good reason. The author is ludicrously identifying the thuggish movements in WWII era Germany and Italy (and there are some legitimate concerns here well noted through the campaign, like when the Boston Trump cultists attacked and pissed on a homeless Latino, or when Trump suggested that a protester might be roughed up, or when he personally attacks a federal judge in charge of the Trump University scam case).
However, if the idiot hack writing this piece had done minimal background research, he would have Googled "economic fascism". In today's lingo, it's industrial policy. Briefly, the economy is dominated by the State; even if you have privately owned businesses, State policies control it. If you have heard Trump bash Ford, Nabisco, and Carrier, it's very clear Trump is an authoritarian who believes that he can dictate business policies. He's anti-trade, anti-immigrant; all of this is economically illiterate claptrap.
Now to be fair, the leftists in using the term do not understand economic fascism themselves, because FDR and every Democrat since then has fully subscribed to economic fascist principles. I'll refer to Clinton and Sanders as left-fascist and Trump as right-fascist.

Whitney Houston, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?". This would be the last of 7 consecutive #1 hits, the last of the eighties, although she had intact 8 consecutive Top 10 hits which would continue for her next two singles. She would go on to chart her last 4 #1's in the 90's.
