...Bush was a proven commodity. He was kinda dumb but, love him or hate him, a relatively nice guy with no intention of becoming a dictator.

Trump is a quite different animal. People see him as a mendaciously nasty, mean, vindictive, malignant narcissist.

I don't see SCOTUS overthrowing 200+ years of democracy for that clown. Call me naive. Whatever.
