Look, the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government (AKA “Deep State” AKA “The Swamp”) has run amok since the beginning of the 20th century with a big push by FDR towards utterly unconstitutional socialism and a kind of coup de grâce by BHO. Certainly in that sense, BHO may have eclipsed FDR in his attempted coup d’etat of America.
Meanwhile the Right sitting in the pot like a frog while it gets to the boiling point is a pretty accurate image...until Trump came along at least. Is it too late? I don’t think so, but it will be a squeaker pulling this one out.
