The thing that scares me the most about Trump is... [View all]

Not so much Trump. Yeah, he is bad enough.

What scares me even more is what comes next if this asshole pulls it off.

I don't think he believes half of what he says. He's an asshole and a bigot, there is no doubt. But I don't think he ever intended to get this far.

If he pulls this off, we are fucked. In the short term (his term) and the long term - when some true believer realizes they can get that far letting it all hang out.
