To have like minded lawyers with skills and the charisma to make really smart people believe. To have all his/her things in line maybe for years before moving to be in control. That can happen.

If Trump has taught me one thing it’s the realization that had he been just a few IQ points smarter there is NO DOUBT he could’ve done far more damage in terms breaking our democratic republic! I do not have the confidence I once had in half, possibly more, of the public to simply remain somewhat grounded in REALITY!! ...That’s not much to expect from the country that’s home to the most Nobel Laureates in Science, right??
...And I can trust no elected Republican on the national level to put country ahead of party...Not one!!
...Again, I totally agree! Had a Republican come along like Trump but smarter, with more patience & had smarter yes men/women...Its terrifying to think what may have happened!?!? I have no idea going forward if Trump helped or hurt the prospect of this experiment we call America? We will see.

Trump is at that stage where he could totally crack, I say the nuclear football should be removed from his presence and guards assigned to watch his every move.

Better to lock him in the bunker and take away his phone first before he totally implodes.

And then you hand out toast when I respond to your invitation with a logical clarification about the time period you reference?
