On that line of thought.

It's not just "folk-wisdom" or "common sense" -- Trump is genuinely seriously mentally ill. He is a deranged dangerous person, as medically diagnosed by a internationally recognized mental health professional.

He has no real positions or policies - he will say anything (typical of psychopath/ sociopath/ narcissistic personalities- the ONLY real way to attack him is to go after his psychopathology.

In WWII desperately needed help in the war effort came from the most unlikely, unexpected source - Native Americans who were able use their (lost) native languages as an unbreakable code for the Allies.

In this election - what columnist Andrew Sullivan has called an "extinction level event" - our only hope may not be from fact checkers, political consultants, or attack ad writers, but from psychologists and psychiatrists.
