44. Trump is easily the greatest danger

Mon Dec 4, 2017, 12:46 AM

Dec 2017

I think we assume his expected attempts to fire Mueller and/or not do something else that endangers democracy and the lives of millions will be quickly addressed.

The attempt itself will bring about a constitutional crisis dramatically more dangerous than during Nixon - because the partisan atmosphere and GOP corruption is much more toxic.

Trump also has millions of rabid dog supporters who would follow his calls for action, whatever they are. He's also commander in chief.

Pence, Ryan follow political norms. They wil leave if voted out. Democracy will be sustained. As long as we have democracy, wrongs can be fixed. Trump is a direct threat to democracy. I don't understand why or how people could want to keep Trump. Its going to be hell to get him out.
