Tomorrow means nothing. We will still be able to praise Senator Sanders...

22. This is getting sort of ridiculous. The Constitution was written to limit power and

to set up competing centers of power within government by people who really understood how to think about tyrants and tyrannical dictators.

Trump is really the worst prepared candidate of a major party in maybe 170 years. He has no real understanding of the role and limits of the presidency.

If he were to be elected he'd be forced to depend on advisors. Who will advance the names of those advisors? Mostly the poohbahs that already guide the republican party.

Getting another group of neocons could be bad, but really we would face that with a Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich...well frankly with ALL of them.

And because of the way the Constitution was designed an executive can't do too much without enabling cooperation from Congress. Trump can nominate but can't get people onto the Supreme Court without help from the Senate. Trump can't build a wall without the House voting to grant him funds to build it.

Fear isn't a plank in a party platform

Historically Fear, as in the crack of a bull whip, is used by herdsmen to drive animals, including humans in a direction desired by the herdsmen. Wherever it is employed in politics we must consider the motivation of those driving us into a thoughtless rush.

Fear in politics is a meme to drive people who can be made fearful.

Even in the worst of times, facing challenges to our existence, we have nothing to fear except fear itself.
