"SNIP...............


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that our system will prevent any “big mistakes” if Donald Trump becomes president, TPM reports.

Said McConnell: “Well, one thing I’m pretty calm about is that this is nowhere near the most divisive period in American history. But what protects us in this country against big mistakes being made is the structure, the Constitution, the institutions.”

He added: “No matter how unusual a personality may be who gets elected to office, there are constraints in this country. You don’t get to do anything you want to.”

1. Now that is a ringing endorsement of Trump from the Senate Leader.

2. another system called voting

against the Trump stain will prevent that from happening as well.

3. "The system" didn't work to prevent Bush's invasion of Iraq,

which was a very, very big mistake.

I think Trump is capable of making terrible mistakes without being stopped.

6. My fear is that the system really did work in that case.

I agree with your assessment that Trump is capable of, and likely will make terrible mistakes without being stopped.

At the same time, the unfortunate reality is that America's most globally impactful export since our inception has been war. And the system delivered a war just the post dot-com economy needed it...and the system kept the bills off the books for the duration of Bushco's reign.

Completely out of control.

4. McConnell looks America in the eye and says..."trust me". LOLOLOLOL

5. Coming from a guy who set out to block everything Obama did and fell short

He is going to have to excuse me if I laugh in his face.

7. I don't trust the turtle either
