In a sense, you are asking the wrong question too. The question I ask, in times like these, is how would this candidate be successfully limited if he became president and really went off the reservation.
The stakes are high. In fact, at times like these, they are so high I can’t even effectively discuss it without violating Godwin’s law.
Yes, the risk truly is THAT high. Technically it is always a possibility, but it takes times like these to really increase the risk.
The risk you’re talking about is always going to be with us. Look at Obama. We already were tricked and burned. Our people en masse are naturally gullible. When a white-talking mocha colored commie worshiper with personal peccadilloes (gay) wandered into Bill Ayers’ lair, he must have thought he’d won the lottery. No need to keep exploding his girlfriends trying to blow up our Federal buildings! Hell, with this guy, we’ll walk in the front door of the White House!
And they [expletive deleted] did.
You know Trump isn’t anywhere near as dangerous as Obama was and is. The latter had evil intentions toward America since he took his first suck of milk. He was emotionally empty/needy and had secrets, and he already had fallen for commie ideology! Plus he was the “Magic Negro,” the black president everyone was waiting for, without being African-AMERICAN at all. But he looked the part.
Could we be tricked again? Sure. If Hilllary were a little less criminal, just maybe without the one email scandal, we’d fall for it again with the joyful rush to have a First Historic President With A Vagina. Yes. En masse, with this media controlling us by mocking any original thinking, any objective morality, we would be sucked back down into having our country taken away even more.
Trump is who he is. He is very straightforward. He’s been waiting a few decades to see if this country would turn around and head back in the right direction. (See his books and interviews over the past 20 years.). Now he’s trying to do it himself. The media-believers on the left and right hate him. He’s actually got the thinking people behind him. Those thinkers that aren’t clinging to the controlling oligarchy for their money, that is. I’ll take the risk that is Every Candidate and go with Trump. In fact, since Cruz won’t get nominated without trump, he is our only hope.
