Trump has committed fraud most of his life. Now he has finally been held accountable for his crimes. Why do his voters think he would not commit fraud as president since cheating is part of his DNA.

is "THINK." They don't. Their reptilian brains are not wired for deep cognitive reflection. They hear his words and react at gut-level, not at cognitive level. It's beyond them.

We have learned that honor in the Presidency is not a given....that we as a nation are vulnerable to a political dictatorship ...we are not a business nor are we a cult/ mafia gangster run nation...

We mush fix these holes...

Half this country elected this con artist. No offense to artists. And he is still one of the presumptive nominees of our two party system. He should have never even got close to that. I could go on how our system needs revision and would weed out people like him, but that's a different rant.

My concern, is he isn't the last and someone more "proficient" could follow him.
